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.

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

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

I'm currently using a computer in a ghost town somewhere in the middle of the USA. It's almost midnight, so I have to put up the 2-inch reinforced steel barricades soon. That's when the crazies come out.

I can't pull the wool over your eyes huh Doc?

Nope, but if you're quick, you can pull all the leads to his PC peripherals over his eyes before he goes wireless.
You know you're addicted to the latest technology when everything connected to your PC has to be wireless... including the monitor.
*BTW, are they still working on that?*

I just tried to reboot my cat
I think he had a system failure after that
because he looked at me with that blank DOS expression in his eye's, and said he was going to format my face

You're crazy, TG.... everybody knows you gotta reboot cats in 'safe mode'

Yup, definitely do the scan... but be careful not to move too many files to one end or the other. Apart from falling off your lap cos he's unbalanced, he could end up with either a headache or constipation.
