YOU REALLY KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 WHEN …

1. you try to change the TV channel using your cell phone keypad;

2. you feel your belt or purse vibrate even when someone else’s phone is ringing;

3. you trust your car GPS route finder more than what you can see through the windscreen;

4. you choose your friends according to the size of their MP3 music collection, and of course whether they are prepared to share them with you;

5. you try to warm up your take-out meal in your hotel room’s electronic safe;

6. you wish you could put one of your relatives in hibernate mode, or yourself in log-off mode;

7. you try and press ‘page down’ when turning the page of the novel you are reading, and are surprised when it does not work;

8. with hundreds of zooty ring tones available, everyone selects the antique telephone one;

9. your laptop picks up twenty wi-fi networks in an airport but none of them is free;

10. you have three mice on your desk and are not sure which machine they link to;

11. you spend more time obeying what your computer and emails tell you to do, than listening to what your manager tells you to do;

12. when there is a power outage there is no option but to go home, and even the home experience is limited;

13. you are really really sick and tired of messages ending my telling you to pass them on to your friends, but you obey anyway…
