you know it is 2003 because

[Guest guest]

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 cell phone 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 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 website address at 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 You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now sells for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.

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 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 because you do not

have their 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 (or a DSL/cable modem) 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 2 am 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.

24. You're reading this.

25. Even worse--you're going to forward it to someone. (or, even worse, you

are going to post this on a message board.)

Hope this made you laugh today
