A friend of mine sent this to me in an email and I thought it was awesome, so couldn't resist posting it here.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2013 when...
1. You accidentally enter your PIN 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 three.
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 website at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even 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 .

Oh my god I loved this. thanks for sharing.
Lol!
Hmm, funny yes, but also one of those things someone will look back and laugh at in 2023.
The only critique I would say is that the forwarding on this list is very 1998, and so is email, according to my daughter. She says people their age only use email for work, if that, and mainly text.
Even a few years ago, with the Virginia Tech shooting, Situational Awareness studies demonstrated that email was not an efficient way to communicate an escalating situation to students anymore: texting is.
So part of this is definitely 2013, though much of it sounds like the late 90s.
Funny nonetheless, and will be amusing for the archaeologists someday.
<lol>, that means laugh out loud, for those not living in 2013, or 2012 ...
Anyway, it's funny.
Thanks.

That's cute. I remember getting it in an email in 2000 or so but it's still funny. Like Leo said, even email seems outdated these days. Now it's all about facebook and twitter.
Can't say I'm much for twitter but FB is definitely a good way to get in touch with me. lol
lol. fb is dead follow me @poelife4life
Interesting. I didn't know it had been around all that long. Sorry about that. I agree with most of it though and that email is not all that efficient a way to get a hold of someone.
Take Care,

How about my updated version:
You know you're living in 2013 when:
1. You get up, and you post to facebook. After doing this, you can't remember why you got up.
2. If you don't see at least a tweet a minute, you start worrying that something bad has happened.
3. The worst crisis you can think of is facebook going down.
4. Your phone is next to your bed so that you can tweet without getting out.
5. When you hear a story about someone texting and hurting themselves (falling off a cliff, into a canal, or smashing straight into a telephone pole), you think "Gosh, that could've happened to me yesterday.
6. When you're at a business dinner, you excuse yourself so you can text people.
7. When you are at an informal dinner, you do this at the table.
8. Your cell phone bill is much lower than it would be if you had the $.20/text pay as you go plan.
9. You have about twelve old cell phones with no service, each of which cost you about $200.
10. You are reading this on a telephone.
11. You have no land-line service that you use, although you might actually have one.
12. Your ringtones are all stupid jokes that you thought were funny when you got them, but now every time they go off, you think that you need to change them.
13. You think this but never do it.
14. You spend more time playing Farmville than you spend sleeping.
15. You can't remember the last time you read something that was in full sentences.
16. You typically see netspeak for more aggregate time than you see anything else.
17. You know what the most common iAds are.
18. You currently have a phone, a tablet, and a laptop. You couldn't think about living without any of them.
19. You have an unnatural fear of police officers after that one pulled you over for texting while driving.
20. You didn’t notice that I …
and you just checked the list for missing numbers.
21. You didn’t notice that I left out the ending quotation mark in number 5, and you don’t consider this much of a problem.
22. You don't believe that I actually made these all up, but think I copied them from someplace. (I did make them up, by the way)
Awesome!
Slam dunk for originality!
