You Know You Are Living In 2006

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006
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 e-mail 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 e-mail
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 commercial on television
has a web site at the bottom of the
screen.

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 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 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.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

You forgot to mention:

No one under the age of 20 has any idea what a typewriter is..

going outside to play is now considered dangerous...

Star wars is an old movie.

Correction:

The good Star Wars is an old movie. (Although EIII wasn't bad)

I was at either Office Depot or Staples the other day and actually SAW typwriters for sale.

Does anyone have a mimeograph machine I can borrow? Or some carbon paper?

I think my mimeograph is right over by the Gestetner. Let me have a look for ya.

I go to the local Office Depot a lot and they have electric typewriters.

While we're on the topic of older technology, how many of you have seen or used a Curta Calculator? I have one that I bought in 1989 and still use it on a regular basis.
