You know you are addicted to technology when...
You can't sit through an entire movie without having at least one device on your body beep or buzz.
You think of the gadgets in your office as "friends", but you forget to send your father a birthday card.
In computer shops, you eavesdrop on a salesman talking with customers, butt in to correct him and spend 20 minutes answering the customers' questions, while the salesman stands by silently, nodding his head.
You say "digital compression" in a conversation without thinking how strange your mouth feels saying it.
You constantly find yourself in groups of people to whom you say "digital compression". Everyone understands what you mean and you are not surprised or disappointed that you don't have to explain it.
You say "voice number" instead of "phone number" as the majority of phone lines in any house are linked to contraptions that talk to other contraptions.
You back up your data every day.
On holiday, you read a computer manual and turn the pages faster than those who read John Grisham novels.
You go to trade shows and map out your path of the exhibit hall in advance. But you can't give someone directions to your house without looking up street names.
You would rather get more dots per inch than miles per gallon.
You are so knowledgeable about technology that you feel secure enough to say "I don't know" when someone asks you a technology question instead of feeling compelled to make something up.
You understand all these jokes.
If so, technology has taken over your life. We suggest you go lie under a tree and write a haiku. And don't use a laptop.
The Farmers ALWAYS get screwed here, it sucks
You know you're addicted to technology when you try to skin your TV
You know you're addicted to technology when you buy a tazer for you next appointment with your banker.
You know you're addicted to technology when you buy another to crash the next Woolies board meeting.
Yep... I have an old mate who's a tomato producer in Nth Queensland... when Woolies were selling tomatoes for $7.99 per kilo, they were only giving him 81c a kilo and point blank refused to up the price when he complained their penny pinching was sending him under. Again, Woolies terminated the contract, but fortunately Johnny was able to find another buyer who was prepared to pay a fair price.
Then, Woollies blows!
I just tried to format my Playstation
Yeah, I open up my tower every couple of months, so my cat Pebbles can catch the cockroaches, it's a fun-filled day for all
LMAO!!!
Nice one Doc
You think you're the only one, doc?
True, T_U.
My Dear Husband,I am sending you this letter via this BBS communications thing, so that you will be sure to read it. Please forgive the deception, but I thought you should know what has been going on at home since your computer entered our lives TWO YEARS AGO. The children are doing well. Tommy is seven now and is a bright, handsome boy. He has developed quite an interest in the arts. He drew a family portrait for a school project, all the figures were good, and the back of your head is very realistic. You should be very proud of him. Little Jennifer turned three in September. She looks a lot like you did at that age. She is an attractive child and quite smart. She still remembers that you spent the whole afternoon with us on her birthday. What a grand day for Jenny, despite the fact that it was stormy and the electricity was out. I am doing well. I went blonde about a year ago, and discovered that it really is more fun! George, I mean, Mr. Wilson, the department head, has taken an interest in my career and has become a good friend to us all. I discovered that the household chores are much easier since I realized that you didn`t mind being vacuumed but that feather dusting made you sneeze. The house is in good shape. I had the living room painted last spring; I`m sure you noticed it. I made sure that the painters cut holes in the drop sheet so you wouldn`t be disturbed.Well, my dear, I must be going. Uncle George--err--Mr. Wilson, I mean, is taking us all on a ski trip and there is packing to do. I have hired a housekeeper to take care of things while we are away, she`ll keep things in order, fill your coffee cup and bring your meals to your desk, just the way you like it. I hope you and the computer will have a lovely time while we are gone. Tommy, Jenny and I will think of you often. Try to remember us while your disks are booting.Love,Your Wife
Damn society...
AHAHAHAHA, Love them all, but that one with the dude in the sand LMAO!!!
Doc, Connection reset by peer LOL
Those were the days, when I use to be on IRC a lot, THAT was the message I'd see most of the time, that and---> YOU HAVE BEEN BITCHSLAPPED
Sometimes, I wish there was a nation containing nothing but copies of me. If that happened, the UN would actually support massive nuclear strikes on the grounds that it would be an even more gross infringement of human rights to let the nation exist.
Yes, Mr Smith, me thinks you've watched Matrix Revolutions too much
* sigh...and they wonder why I TG.
Aww I you too Doc
AND.. I JUST MADE A SEAHORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It moves, it actually moves, it looks pretty cool, now if uploads only worked [ps haha Frogboy, I beat you to it!]
Wow...I can't even get my mouse to move...
I think I just figured out why....
lol You didn't feed it enough Laser cookies
and here I was thinking (for a change) they ate thru the wire. Go figger.
I don't know how insane the Ostrich is, but the Emu is a definate freaker-outer-rer
All my life, i've been chased by them, had to jump fences in zoo's to get away.. damn, they are scary
I guess you don't Emuse them.
Hmmmm..... Do they know something we don't, TG?
ROFL!! Damn it's good to have you back!
When my son was about 3, I took him to an animal park, and an emu [as usual] chased me, so I ran and jumped the fence and left my son in the enclosure he was fine. actually, he was laughing at me hehe, but that's how freaky they are, and they only seem to come after me Yo, Emu's of the world, what did I do to piss you all off
Oh....angus1949...
