Living in the Computer Age

I just received the following from my ex-wife, still one of my best friends, and thought it worth sharing:
~ ~ ~

You know you are living in the Computer Age when:


1 - You accidentally enter your password 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 three.


4 - You email the person who works at the desk next to you.


5 - Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have email addresses.


6 - You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.


7 - Every television commercial has a website at the bottom of the screen.


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


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


11 - You start tilting your head sideways to smile :-)


12 - You're reading this, and nodding and laughing.


13 - Even worse, you know exactly to whom you're going to forward this list.


14 - You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.


15 - You actually scrolled back up to check that there was no #9 on this list.


And now you are laughing at yourself!


Go on, send this to your friends - you know you want to!

~ ~ ~

Have a great weekend, everyone.
