    YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 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 drive and use your mobile 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 mobile 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 number 9 on this list.

    15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a number 9 on this list.

    :D

    lmao

    jeez...I've done/did all of those. LOL:eek:

    Sadly, even this one: "6. You pull up in your own drive and use your mobile phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries."

    That's good. I haven't seen that one.

    I've done most of them!!

    No 8 is probably the one I do the most! Funny thing my co-worker across from me emailed these to me. LOL

    I have a friend who would call her mom on the 3rd floor from the living room on her cell phone because she was too lazy to go up the stairs!!

    Yep, true for a lot of people. Personally, although I am a tech-geek, I make a point of never being a slave of any technology, or gadget.

    I am the master...it is the slave....(I think! :eek:

    I can add one:
    16. You check to see if you have an internet connection during a power outage. (Yes, my wife did that, just last night.)rolleyes

    Re: Cellphones:- Well, let's just say for someone who runs a few companies, I should theoretically be contactable at all times, but I get a bit 'woolly headed' at times and forget things. Like my cellphone in my cars were both flat for nearly a week, and I plumb forgot to recharge them. I did wonder why things were so quiet, rofl! You wouldn't believe the amount of S.M.S. and phone-bank messages I had to catch up with. :eek:

    In my own defence, I did remember a few times about the recharging when I was out, LoL! rolleyes.

    I got the hint when people kept asking me what was wrong with my cellphones. Ah well, it was peaceful for a short time. Now I must pay the price and catch up with everything, eh.

    On a "You know it's 2007", note. I had to LoL to myself when I was at a friend’s house, and left my thumb-drive on the table and she was trying to light a cigarette with it. It does look a fair bit like a lighter, I guess. I pretended not to notice, but she did ask what I was smirking at. 'Plausible deniability' did not work, either.

    I'm using an internet connection via my phone line and have a UPS serving all my primary equipment, so I do have an internet connection during power outages (at least for 25.43 minutes, that is . . . lol).

    On the flip-side . . . I don't own a cell phone. Never have. I just haven't needed one. A friend once handed me her fancy new Motorola Razor phone and I had trouble turning the thing on. She was shocked, saying "You built my computer, but you can't work a cell phone?!"

    My pithy response was, "What's your point?"

    :eek:

    I email my co-workers who sit next to me all the time (about 5 feet away). The funny thing is that my email has to go through our company's headquarters servers in Des Moines, Iowa first before it goes to their computer. We work in Washington, DC. :D
