    Smile 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.

    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 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.

    Hey, wait a minute. I'm an office equipment tech and our main product line is Gestetner. They are an old company but still around as part of Ricoh.
