Top 10 Reasons I know I’m living in 2012
It’s 2012 and time flashes pass faster then before. There are many things happening this year that weren’t happening last year.
Here are 10 reasons I know that I’m living in 2012.
- Your mom sends you birthday greetings via e-mail and Facebook and then texts you to ask you if you have checked your e-mail and Facebook status.
- You make appointments and chat with your friends more often on Whatssup then on MSN.
- You have a smartphone as there are no new models of phone which come with a keyboard nowadays.
- Kids are more interested in interactive games on the IPAD instead of traditional board games.
- Most transactions that you do are online and there is no real need to step into a bank or shop.
- Google is one of your best friends.
- You spend more time sending text messages then actually talking on a phone.
- Your toddler/kids are able to remember your hand phone number and all the telephone numbers of the immediate family as everyone has a hand phone.
- You use your blog to update friends and relatives about the kids rather then send letters and photos to them.
- You are working from home online instead of physically having to go to a workplace.
How do you know that you are in 2012?

I feel old! 🙂 I just recently upgraded to a phone with a slide out keyboard! 🙂 No smartphones here yet. Maybe by 2013!

Well, technology… Good and bad. No human touch but efficient.
I am against the games on IPad and mobile phones for kids

I too am not for PC games/ IPAd games unless they are educational and the kids are not totally glued to the screen for a long time.

Awww…how you make me feel old now. Being an older dad of a 3-year-old son I know time have changed so dramatically ( I was my son’s current age in 1973) My son will never know black and white television, encyclopedias (book form) or having to go and find our friends if we couldn’t get them on the telephone….sigh
I am not sure if life was simple but I do know it always kept me out of the house. My parents favorite was go play outside….luckily I am instilling that in my son…

Yeah, I text a lot. Lol. We bought a tablet for my son but not for the games but for watching educational videos. This always save us when he feels boredom and we need to finish our tasks.

So true. That said, I still don’t have any smartphone… and still hanging on to my very, very old Nokia!
