Subject: You know you are living in the year 2003.....
You know you are living in the year 2003 when:
1. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not
have e-mail.
2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
3. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so
she can create a screen saver.
4. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if
anyone is home.
5. Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of
the screen.
6. You buy a computer and 3 months later it's out of date and sells for
half the price you paid.
7. 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 for panic and you
turn around to go and get it.
8. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would
be a hassle and take planning.
9. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.
10. You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
11. Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.
12. Your idea of being organized is multi-coloured Post-it notes.
13. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
14. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.
15. You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if
you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
16. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
17. You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your E-mail on
your way back to bed.
18. You start tilting your head sideways to smile :)
19. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
20. You know exactly who you are going to forward this to....

A lot of those are true, but #11 made me giggle because our dining room table is for sure our 'catch all' spot. It's amazing to me how much accumulates in a week with only TWO people living here.
Subject: Re: You know you are living in the year 2003.....
These are so true. Especially #8. I can't remember the last time I paid cash for something. We get Toys R' Us certificates from our credit card so we charge EVERYTHING and just pay it all at once, rather than using our debit card or cash.

You forgot one. You have to IM your kids that dinner is ready (and they are in the other room).

Subject: Re: You know you are living in the year 2003.....
That is sooooo true! I can't even remember life before email!
Subject: Re: You know you are living in the year 2003.....
Sorry, but that sounds nothing like me..well, not all of it.
Scarey :o The internet has taken over the world little by little :o :o :o
Subject: Re: You know you are living in the year 2003.....
My girlfriend & I talk to each other on the phone & IM each other at the SAME time! :-/
I also can't remember the last time I paid a bill via "snail mail".
I do all my banking online. The last time I walked into my bank was the day we opened up the account. Thank goodness for direct deposit and ATM deposits!
And I can't even leave my house without my cell phone. I have this paranoia that the day I leave my cell at home, is the day I get stranded with the kids on the side of the highway. ::)
Oh, and last Christmas I bought every single gift except ONE online! :P
