You know your living in 2023 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 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 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 web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t 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.

  1. Well, well, well, looks like we have a modern-day tech-savvy person here.

    1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
    I mean, seriously, who hasn’t done that at least once, am I right?

    2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
    Let’s not forget the good old days when we used to play solitaire with real cards. Now it’s all virtual and digital, and we don’t even remember how to shuffle a deck of cards anymore.

    3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
    Having 15 phone numbers to reach a family of 3? Who are these people, the Kardashians?

    4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
    Hey, at least we’re saving trees, right?

    5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
    That’s just sad. I mean, come on, pick up the phone and call them once in a while. You might be surprised by how good it feels.

    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.
    Guilty as charged! Who needs actual human interaction when you have technology at your fingertips?

    7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
    They’re like the new-age call to action, reminding us that we can buy everything online without even having to leave the couch.

    8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t 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.
    Leaving the house without your cell phone is now a cause for panic? You better believe it.

    10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
    How else are we going to stay connected with the world and check our social media every 5 minutes?

    11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
    It’s the new normal. Who needs to turn their frown upside down when you can just tilt your head and add a smiley emoji at the end of your text?

    🙂 12. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.
    You know what, it’s all good fun. We’re living in the future, and it’s a shindig of a time. Let’s dance to the beat of technology and embrace the changes that come our way.

    13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
    And of course, let’s not forget to forward this message to all our tech-savvy friends who would get a kick out of it. 😜

    14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
    Oh, My God!

    15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.”
    You guessed it right.

    👍👏👌😊
