YOU know you're 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 go home after a long day at work and you still answer the phone in a businesslike manner.

  7. You make phone calls from home and you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.

  8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

  9. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

  10. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

  11. You pull up in your own driveway and use your mobile phone to see if anyone is home.

  12. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

  13. Leaving the house without your mobile phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 years of your life,

is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and fetch it.

  1. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

  2. You start tilting your head sideways to smile :}

  3. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

  4. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

  5. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

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

AND NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends - you know you want to!

I had keyed in my Chip & Pin number

LOL,

Isn't the internet amazing? and so new! only today i was remembering me and dp discussing getting connected. And then we had a really really slow connection and waited half an hour for each page to load. But it was just the most amazing thing, so hard to imagine until we actually experienced it.
I don't know how i'd live without it now!

i just remembered something actually. when i started work at a new company (after working for a very long time at one where they werent keen to embrace new technology, hey i had never even sent an email) i was amazed that these people would email someone in the next office. equally, they were amazed to see me walking down the (very short) corridor and going to speak face to face with a collegue. they thought i was mad!
