If you are in your middle years…say 30-70, you know technology has changed our lives…a lot.  The difference between what my first born experienced as a toddler and my youngest is like crossing the prairie with a covered wagon and watching the moon walk forty years ago.

So, here are a few truisms, that will hopefully make you smile, maybe even laugh.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 When:

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

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

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. 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.

7. Every commercial on television has 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, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

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

12. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

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

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING AT YOURSELF.

 And while its true we can laugh at ourselves for some of these cute one-liners, we also know that they’ve, in general, made our lives a lot easier.
