Techies New Year resolutions

1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Internet.

2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

3) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Internet.

4) I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Internet-deprived.

5) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.

6) I will read a book...if I still remember how.

7) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for e-mail.

8) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime ... and the Internet will always be there tomorrow!

• You haven’t played solitaire with a real deck of cards in years.

• You e-mail your son in his room to tell him that dinner is ready, and he e-mails you back "What’s for dinner?"

• You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven’t spoken to your next-door neighbour yet this year.

• You didn’t give your valentine a card this year, but you posted one for your online buddies via a Web page.

• The concept of using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase is totally foreign to you.

• You consider second day air delivery painfully slow. Your idea of being organised is multiple coloured post-it notes.

• Leaving the house without your cellphone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.

• Every commercial on television has a Web site address at the bottom of the screen.

• And finally... You hear most of your jokes via email instead of in person!
