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 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.

This is fabulous. And how sadly true it all is. I've seen so many people hiking our local trails hollering into their bluetooth headsets.

I find that offensive. Please delete that blog post!

16. When (surprise?) a *hardcopy* book's first day revenues, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, exceed the whole opening weekend of the blockbuster movie opening! (Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix.) Has the internet spawned a whole new generation of literacy, or is this the counter-movement to our epic web addiction?

17. For the first time, you looked at the screen next to yours, only to find out that it belongs to one, whom, you have had a two year chat room correspondence.
