You Know You're Living on the 'Net When...


  • Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail.


  • You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.


  • 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 web site address at the bottom of the screen.


  • You buy a computer and 3 months later it's out of date and sells for half the price you paid.


  • 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 get it.


  • Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.


  • You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.


  • You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.


  • Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.


  • Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes.


  • You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.


  • You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.


  • You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.


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


  • You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your E-mail on your way back to bed.


  • You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )


  • You're reading this and nodding and laughing.


  • Even worse; you know exactly who you are going to forward this to.
