The iThings we do

We live in an IT world, do we not? So I guess it's not that odd that we make use of all things IT and somehow misuse it in a way its not meant to utilised. Or bring whatever culture that's been cultivated from the cyberworld to the real world (memes?). Well, you know you're a bit of a... whatever I described above when:

1) You combed my hair, and instead of turning around and using the damn mirror, you use the webcam on the mac. (okay. definitely me.)

2) You wish you could Ctrl+Z (or Command+z) most of the common mistakes you make. Thats not in the computer.

3) "Anybody seen my phone? Never mind, I'll call it using the house phone. Brring Brring. Ah, there it is." On the flipside, "Anybody see my carkeys? Never mind, I'll ca-... oh. Crap. Where the fuck are my carkeys?!"

4) You listen to a song, you imagine the coloured bars coming down, ala Rock Band/Guitar hero. Ooo, long yellow bar. *Thumps imaginary base drum.* Score!

5) Instead of a good book or paper, you take a dump while watching stuff on your iPod. Even better, check your mail if you have wifi or 3g phone.

6) 'I can has' is the new 'May I have'/Could I have'.

7) You almost get a panic attack when you forget to bring your handphone.

8) When in strange company, fiddle phone. When bored with strange company, fiddle phone. When NOT bored with strange company, check sms, y'know, just in case. When theres nothing to do on phone, read past text messages. Delete past text messages. Check sent items. Clear sent items. Check wifi availability. Get angry and curse IT guy for putting in password. Also, get angry when people make fun of being 'anti-social'.

9) It used to be illegal to text while driving. Update: it's also illegal to YM, to reply to an email, to 3G call someone and say 'im driving'.

10) You see something funny/sad/odd. You think, hey, this'd be a nice post for my blog. Then totally forget about it. And when you DO remember, the story grows an extra leg.

11) You've tried to look for porn on Youtube. You've been duped by many many dupe videos that have an icon of some hot chick- turns out its some 40 year old fat guy with a webcam thats 'stroking his cat from Japan.'

12) You Google something you can't spell. And see the 'did you mean (word)?' section.

I'd add more but I gotta go work. Later.

p.s: 13) you update your blog from work.
