You know you are living in 2007 when...

(This was emailed to me today) 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 go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner. 7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line. 8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. 10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news. 11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job. 12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home. 13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen. 14. 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. 15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee. 16. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 17. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 18. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

"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."

That's because there are no pay phones anywhere anymore. Go ahead. try finding one. I forgot my cell phone once and I was in a mall and I needed to call my son, and I couldn't find a phone anywhere, in or outside the mall. ( I forget my cell phone a lot. Yesterday most recently, and I needed to call home and couldn't find a phone in the grocery store.

19. People no longer use proper spelling when they write anymore, either, for instance, "AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself."

thanks for the correction.

yeah the payphone thing is very true. i heard in london that they removed the famous red phone booths because no one uses them anymore and just keep a few red booths out in tourist areas for picture taking...but there is no phone inside the booth.
