Sent to me from my buddy Beavis:
You know you are living in the year 2004 when:
A. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail.
B. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
C. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.
D. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
E. Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of the screen.
F You buy a computer and 3 months later it's out of date and sells for half the price you paid.
G. 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.
H. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.
I. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.
J. You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
K. Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.
L. Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes.
M. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
N. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.
O. You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
P. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
Q. You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your e-mail on your way back to bed.
R. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

Posted by: Les at January 21, 2004 01:07 PMI love this. It all rang true for me except "I" and "N". I have cable but have the 2nd phone line for faxes and just in case the cable goes down LOL.
Posted by: Charlene at January 21, 2004 01:29 PMI'm particularly guilty of the cell phone ones. I also have 5 lines on my cell phone plan.
Posted by: katherine at January 21, 2004 01:56 PMOk, someone needs to kill me now. What did I do 20 years ago without all this technology?
Posted by: Tom at January 21, 2004 03:01 PMOh man, I did almost every one of these things in the last week alone. In fact, my last post went up at 2 a.m. What a loser.
Posted by: mindy at January 21, 2004 04:18 PMIs it wrong that I tried to enter a password on the coffee maker?
Posted by: Lee at January 21, 2004 04:21 PMI am so guilty of Q.
Posted by: christine at January 21, 2004 09:54 PMThere's absolutely no reason why I can't let my email download while the coffee's brewing.
And I did Q just this afternoon. But only because it's normal for me to sleep during the day. Rolled over, looked at the clock, reached down to the floor to grab the laptop, opened it up, refreshed my inbox, skimmed, closed it up, put it back down on the floor, then rolled back over and went back to sleep.
In case you wanted the play by play.
Posted by: Erica at January 22, 2004 03:08 AMHow true
Posted by: Anji at January 22, 2004 05:10 AMSo scary yet so true. What are my kids going to be doing ten years from now with everything going so hi-tech and everybody wants everything so right now.
