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 three.
4. You emial the person who works at the next desk to yours.
5. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cellphone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
6. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.
7. Leaving the house without your cellphone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
8. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
10 You start tilting your head sideways to smile. Smile
11. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
