"You Realize You Live in 2002 When:"
- You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.
- You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
- You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat. He e-mails you back from his bedroom, "What's for dinner?"
- Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site.
- You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup to see if it contains Echinacea.
- Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a
- screen-saver.
- You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
- Every commercial on television has a website address at the bottom of the screen.
- You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid.
- Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20-30 years of your life, is cause for panic and turning around to go get it.
- Using real money to make a purchase, instead of credit or debit cards, would be a hassle and take planning.
- You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
