SIGNS YOU LIVE IN THE YEAR 2003
Ripped from the Web
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. 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later it is out of date and now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.
(I think WE have found an answer
to this problem!)
11. 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 back and get
it.
12. Using real money, instead of
credit or debit, to make a
purchase would be a hassle and
take planning.
13. Cleaning up the dining room means
getting the fast food bags out of
the back seat of your car.
14. Your reason for not staying in
touch with family is that they do
not have e-mail addresses.
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
online before getting your coffee.
22. You wake up at 2am 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. :)
DAVE'S AFTERTHOUGHT: Is it me, or has
science fiction become rather humdrum?
I mean, all those great gadgets are
real now. And guess what -- people
still don't know where Joy comes from!
