This and That:
You Know You Were Alive in 2006 If …
1. You hadn’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
2. You accidentally entered your password on the microwave.
3. You had a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mailed the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family was that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
6. You pulled up in your own driveway and used your cell phone to see if anyone was home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television had a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, was now a cause for panic and you turned around to go to get it.
10. You have now ordered more Christmas gifts on-line than from using the catalogues and telephone.
11. You now download all your music rather than purchase CDs or listen to the radio.
12. You use your cell phone rather than a grocery list in the supermarket.
13. You can’t recall ever having used an 8-trac, cassette or video disc.
14. You find it easier to get a response from a company’s website on–line than calling their offices and trying to get through to a live individual.
15. You get up in the morning and go on line before having your coffee.
16. You have started tilting your head sideways to smile. :-)
17. You are reading this and nodding your head and laughing.
18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to get this bulletin column.
19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
20. You actually looked back to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.
Happy New Year!
Fondly,
Father Nick Amato
