You Know You’re Living in 2008 When…

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You have so many passwords you can never remember any of them.

3. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

4. You have more text conversations than phone conversations.

5. Ditto IM and Skype conversations.

6. You use your cell phone to find your boyfriend at a crowded show or bar.

7. You have a list of fifteen phone numbers to reach your family of three.

8. When you leave home in the morning, forgetting your cell phone—which you didn’t need and didn’t know you needed for the first twenty or thirty (or sixty) years of your life—is a cause for total panic and you have to turn around immediately to go get it.

10. Losing your cell phone is a major, major catastrophe.

11. Losing your Internet access is an even bigger catastrophe.

12. You spend more time looking at MySpace and YouTube than you do watching TV.

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

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