You know your really hooked on the Internet when ...

  • Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail.

  • Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screensaver.

  • You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

  • Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

  • Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.

  • Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.

  • You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.

  • Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.

  • Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes.

  • You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.

  • You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.

  • You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.

  • You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

  • You wake up at 2:00 AM to go to the bathroom and check your e-mail on your way back to bed.
