YOU KNOW YOU'RE LIVING IN THE YEAR 2005 WHEN...

Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have an e-mail address.
You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.
You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of the screen.
You buy a computer and 3 months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid.
Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have thefirst 20 or 40 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.
Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.
You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.
You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.
Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes.
You hear most of your jokes via e-mail or discussion forums instead of in person.
You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.
You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your E-mail on your way back to bed.
You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
You're reading this.
Even worse; you're going to forward it to someone else.

I loved these in particular because they are very true for me:

A): Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have thefirst 20 or 40 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.
B): Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.
C): You hear most of your jokes via e-mail or discussion forums instead of in person.

:D

Who has dialup in 2005?

It means he made the mistake of reposting something that was originally titled "You know you're living in the year 1999 when..."

YES!
They still do that sketch from time to time, right? That was my absolute favorite thing back in the day, and got me addicted to Conan.

This is actually different than the last version I saw. I like this one better... the only thing I don't get is this:
You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
You can disconnect? :confused:
