You are Living in 2005 when...

[Beth Sweet]

YOU ARE LIVING IN 2005 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 YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

You're mean, I don't like you...

16. When you think to yourself "Ha, when I get older I'll be able to tell my kids I actually had to wait for the internet to load! 15 seconds, both ways, uphill!"

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Any true power user gets their coffee BEFORE going on line. You never know how long you will be writing on CD.
#9? who looks at the numbers?
Not sure I like the crack about not needing a cell phone for the first 60 years of my life. It was only 50, I mean 40, yeah 40. And it's my wife who calls from the driveway about the groceries.

[JamesBrown]

So true.

I dont even get out of bed, my computer is at the head of my bed I check my email, CD and Top news stories before I put my feet on the floor.

I can say that I do #6 every time I go to town. What can I say teenagers are LAZY sometimes .

#17 - You have never built your own radio out of a crystal, a coil of wire and a paper clip (sub item: you have never owned a "transistor radio" and aren't even sure what one looks like).

#18 - A gallon of gas is more expensive than a gallon of milk.

#19 - Your phone, camera, phone book, fax machine, calendar, shopping list, watch, and garage door opener are all the same device.

#20 - "LP" stands for the "Libertarian Party" and has nothing to do with music.

#21 - Bush is president - again???!!!?!

#22 - Carroll Shelby is building kick-butt Mustangs again!!!

#23 - Your car has a keypad, but no keys.

#24 - The cassette deck on your stereo has never been used, even once.

#25 - You get more pieces of electronic junk e-mail per day than pieces of physical junk mail per day.

#26 - More than 50% of the people listed in your address book are people that you have never actually met face-to-face.

#27 - You know how to compute a fast Fourier transform in Excel, but can't add a set of four three-digit numbers with a pencil and paper.

#28 - You think a digital watch is more accurate than an analog one.

#29 - You think "TiVo" is a verb.

#30 - "That's pimp!" is a good thing.

#31 The term "thread" refers to an online discussion as opposed to something you sew together pieces of material with to make clothes.

#32 You can buy a toaster for $6.50 at WalMart and it toasts just as good/bad as your $80 one from Crate and Barrel (btw is there any such thing as a good toaster these days? I've owned 4 in recent memory and none got both sides even without having to flip it and put it back in)

[KORN_lover_2007]

Yep, I must agree, just about every one of those apply to me and probably everyone I know.
