You Know You're Living In The
Year 2002 When.....
-------------------------------------------------
1. Your reason for not staying in touch with family
is because they do not have e-mail addresses.
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 e-mails 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. Every commercial on television has a web site
address at the bottom of the screen.
10. You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out
of date and now sells for half the price you paid.
11. 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.
12. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to
make a purchase would be a hassle and takes planning.
13. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the
fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.
14. You just tried to enter your password on the
microwave.
15. You consider second day air delivery painfully
slow.
16. Your dining room table is now your flat filing
cabinet.
17. Your idea of being organized is multiple colored
Post-it notes.
18. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of
in person.
19. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone
calls.
20. You disconnect from the Internet and get this
awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
21. You get up in morning and go on-line before
getting your coffee.
22. You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and
check your E-mail on your way back to bed.
23. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.

24. You're reading this.
25. Even worse; you're going to forward it to someone else.
