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.
