Subject: 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 You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid.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.

Ummmm...... With the exception of cell phones, this is SOOOO me...
Subject: Re: YOU KNOW YOU’RE LIVING IN THE YEAR 2002 WHEN:
With the exception of anything cell phone related this is mostly me too. Of course, I used BBSes in the 80s so I used email all the time back then. Technically you could say I'm still living in the 80s...
Subject: Re: YOU KNOW YOU’RE LIVING IN THE YEAR 2002 WHEN:
I'm confused ur sure I shouldnt be living in lets say the 80's by any chance. ;)
Subject: Re: YOU KNOW YOU’RE LIVING IN THE YEAR 2002 WHEN:

Hey!!! Have you been peeping in my windows again? >:( :o ;D ;D This is sooo me.
I would also add to that: Every time you call a stodgy, old-fasioned government office (like the unemployment office, or city hall) the operator tries to get you to go to their website to get your question answered.
{I tried that already. It didn't answer my question, that's why I've been on hold for twenty minutes trying to talk to a person. What was I thinking? ::)}
