You Know You're Living in 2024 when...
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 4.
4. You have to LOOK through your phone
for YOUR OWN phone number because you don’t know it “by heart”!
5. You e-mail the person who works at
the desk next to you.
6. You text good morning/good night to
loved ones instead of calling them on the phone to talk.
7. Your reason for NOT staying in touch with friends and family is that they
don't have e-mail addresses or cell phones (for texting).
8. 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.
9. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
10. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first
20 or 30 (or 50) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn
around to go and get it.
11. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
11. You call on the phone from your
room for someone to bring you a bottle of water from the kitchen.
11. You carry your cell phone around
in your pocket all day long . . . to have if you need it.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
12 You're reading this and you’re nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly who you are going to share this message with.
14. You are too busy to notice there are 4 #11(s) on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check how many #11(s) are on this list.
16. You walk around looking for your cell phone only to realize you're talking on it.
17. You point your cell phone at the tv to change channels.
AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING-OUT-LOUD . . . by yourself.
Happy Friday Night, dear friends!
Good one
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! Too many of these are too true. Sigh... Have a fun weekend, Leona.

That is true! Have a nice and peaceful weekend!
ReplyDelete#8? I still use the car horn for that.
ReplyDeleteOh my! These made me laugh but unfortunately they are true!! Our kids and grandkids know not to use their phones when they come or Poppy will take them for the rest of the visit. We miss the good old days!! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWait -- you mean you're not supposed to enter your password on the microwave?
ReplyDeleteI basically only have a cell phone for roadside emergencies. I rarely have it turned on. I hate this culture where you're expected to be "available" all the time, and I refuse to participate.
And I did notice the extra 11s.
I do have to find my number on my phone and I don't email Husband upstairs but I whatsapp him.
