You only buy devices that are wireless
You feel sorry for people who are still on dialup Internet access
You can't remember the last time you wrote a letter by hand
You only stay in contact with friends who have e-mail addresses
You can't remember the last time you had real printed photos as everything's online.
You think something's wrong with your friends when you don't see them online everyday.
You know what a mac address is.
You know what a WEP key is.
You have a blog, hosted on your own server
You treat yourself to a new gadget every couple of months from Ebuyer or "I want One Of Those"
You've setup not one but two wireless networks in your house with 2 lots of firewalls.
You write your blog posts in a pure HTML editor because you can't stand the GUI one.
You have more than one PC and one of them is called "your server"
You use the command prompt for everything
You know more about your ADSL connection and how to fix it when it goes wrong than the person on the helpdesk of your ISP.
Your friends and family rather call you when they have an IT problem at work than talk to their own internal IT guys.
You prefer to build your own PC's
You're reading this blog post late at night smiling when you should probably be in bed.
Your mobile device can access e-mail and probably has Skype and WiFi
You criticise actors in "cyber" movies who write syntactically incorrect code.
You plan your holidays by which hotels have wireless access
