10. You no longer get the newspaper – you subscribe to feeds.
9. You have not handwritten a letter more than 1 page in YEARS. You know, with a pen.
8. Google yourself / others.
7. You speak the internet language (LOL, STFU, etc) and start making up your own between friends. TGALJC! HTFU!
6. You send messages to your friends on Twitter that show up on their phone, instead of a direct text. Like this message. And this.
5. Several domains belong to you, even if you’re not actively using it.
4. When you start selling your life on eBay, like Ian Usher.
3. If you stumble at least 10 times a day.
2. When one of the first things you do in the morning, even when running late for work, is to check your email and Facebook.
1. When you’re going on a tropical vacation and you check with the hotel in advance whether they have internet access so you can blog.
“Internet-ized” is my way of saying that internet plays a huge role in one’s life. Internet addiction would be just too harsh to say. I mean, who has time for Internet Anonymous?
11. You have AIM, google chat, yahoo chat, MSN chat, Windows Live Messenger and Facebook chat…what else is there?
Everyday devices must have a way to connect to the internet: TVs, Laptops, pagers, phones, cars, lions, tigers and bears! Oh my! Pretty soon, we’ll be able to connect with our bodies then Second Life will become verrrry real.
According to your list, I’m half Internet-ized.
I have a new one! Or at least an additional example for #7.
7b. When you write “LOL” on a hard copy of a user guide (or paper) that you’re reviewing.
(Which my project manager did.)
The internet sure changes people’s life and their bank account. I made nearly a thousand of selling stuff online. OO sweet internet, I love you! WEB2.0Rocks!
Imagine life without internet? Umm, dunno! Umm,oooyes, no free porn!
@ Pepe – make sure you claim that on your taxes! You gotta pay taxes on stuff you sell online.
