Signs of the Times Living in 2009

• You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
• You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
• You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
• You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
• Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
• 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.
• 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.
• You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
