Life in 2008

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 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 3
  • 4. You don't know who your friends are until they find you on LinkedIn.
  • 5. You tell your friends and family to Skype you, insteading of inviting them to call.
  • 6. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have updates on Twitter.
  • 7. 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.
  • 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 for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
  • 10. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
  • 11. You say LOL when you really meant to laugh.
  • 12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
  • 13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
  • 14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
  • 15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
