Signs That Technology Has Taken Over Your Life
(Part 2 of 3)

11.  You sign Christmas cards by putting :-) next to your signature.

12.  Off the top of your head, you can think of nineteen keystroke
symbols that are far more clever than :-).

13.  You back up your data every day.

14.  Your wife asks you to pick up some minipads for her at the
store and you return with a rest for your mouse.

15.  You think jokes about being unable to program a VCR are stupid.

16.  On vacation, you are reading a computer manual and turning the
pages faster than everyone else who is reading John Grisham novels.

17.  The thought that a CD could refer to finance or music rarely
enters your mind.

18.  You are able to argue persuasively the Ross Perot's phrase
"electronic town hall" makes more sense than the term "information
superhighway," but you don't because, after all, the man still uses
hand-drawn pie charts.

19.  You go to computer trade shows and map out your path of the
exhibit hall in advance.  But you cannot give someone directions to
your house without looking up the street names.

20.  You would rather get more dots per inch than miles per gallon.
