EVIDENCE THAT YOU LIVE IN THE YEAR 2001

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 beeper 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 yet 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 new 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 web-site
address at the bottom of the screen.

10. You buy a computer and 6 months later it's out
of date and now sells for half the price you paid.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 that they don't have 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 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 the morning and go online before
getting your breakfast.

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 thinking how true all of this is.

25. Even worse, you're probably going to forward it
to someone else.
