Living in the Jetsons Era (circa 2005)
You know You're Living In 2005, Our Jetsons Era, When. . . . .
21. You know you are already in the Post-Jetsons Era, when instead of forwarding this by e-mail (#18), first thing you do is zing it on your blog.
Actually, this is really the Jetsons Era zinger that hit home for me:
15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your
coffee breakfast.
Could one ever imagine that someday something would come along that would override the sole reason for getting up in the morning and then going back to sleep?
Breakfasts are lovely. Speaking of which, time to rise and shine...
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 business manner.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your
coffee.
16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :-)
17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message to.
19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list; and now you're laughing at yourself.
