5. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries...

6. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen

7. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic
