You know you're living in the year 2010 when....

1) You accidentally enter your pin number on the microwave.

2) You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3) You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4) You e-mail the person who works in the desk next to you.

5) Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have an e-mail address.

6) You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to call someone in the house to come out and help you carry in the groceries.

7) Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8) Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause of panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10) You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11) You start tilting you head to smile. ":-)"

12) You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13) Even worse, you know exactly who you're going to forward this message to.

14) You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on the list.

15) You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on the list.


AND NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING AT YOURSELF.

Soooo true!

I look back and wonder "how on earth did we become so dependent on cellphones and internet when we didn't have for the first 20/30/40+ years of our lives?".
