Year Check!
You know you are living in the year 2004 when:
- Your reason for not staying in touch with some family and friends is
because they do not have e-mail.
- You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
- Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she
can create a screen saver.
- You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone
is home.
- Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of the
screen.
- You buy a computer and 3 months later it's out of date and sells for half
the price, or less than you paid for it.
- Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first
20 or 30 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to
go get it.
- Using real money, instead of a credit or debit card, to make a purchase
would be a hassle and take planning.
- You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.
- You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
- Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.
- Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes.
- You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
- You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.
- You disconnect from the Internet and you get this awful feeling, as if you
just pulled the plug on a loved one.
- You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
- You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your e-mail on your
way back to bed.
- You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
- You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
- Even worse; you know exactly who you are going to forward this to!
