Someone (I do not know who, but their genius far exceeds
mine) came up with this humorous list to help you recognize
the signs of the times for 2010:
1. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.
2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family
of three.
3. You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to
eat. He emails you back from his bedroom, "What's for
dinner?"
4. Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site.
5. You chat several times a day with a stranger from South
Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor
yet this year.
6. You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup
to see if it contains Echinacea.
7. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your
newborn so she can create a screen saver.
8. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone
to see if anyone is home.
9. You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date
and now sells for half the price you paid.
10. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you
didn't have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is cause
for panic and turning around to go get it.
11. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a
purchase would be a hassle and take planning.
12. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food
bags out of the back seat of your car.
13. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that
they do not have e-mail addresses.
14. You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
15. Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.
16. Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it
notes.
17. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in
person.
18. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.
19. You get up in the morning and go online before getting
your coffee.
20. You wake up at 2 am to go to the bathroom and check your
E-mail on your way back to bed.
21. You're reading this.
22. Even worse; you may even forward it to someone else.
