...when you're looking through a book or essay for a single quote you know you read in it and you genuinely consider using the 'find' function to find it, then are frustrated when you realise that no such thing exists.

 

Which reminds me of this:

or when you start hearing the lyrics to "Rock the Casbah" as "Lock the task bar"

You know you've been using a computer too much when...

 

...you're deep in conversation with a friend outdoors, and you want to recall a certain piece of information. "I'm gonna google that!...oh wait..."

When you refer to getting changed as "Customising my avatar".

You refer to passing a test or challenge as "Achievement Unlocked"

You wonder how you can make your voice stand out in a crowd and contemplate changing its colour.

You get to a shop 5 minutes before it closes and think to yourself "Inb4thelock"

Cats have lost all appeal unless they are within 3 foot of a cheeseburger.

When you look at famous paintings and decide that they've definitely been photoshopped.

 

Also, Moogle: totally! I read through the thread but must have totally missed your post somehow. I only posted it because I've been writing my dissertation and I couldn't count the number of times yesterday that I was frustratedly flicking through the book looking for a short quote and considering downloading an ebook or getting it on google books to speed up my work.

Meet a cute girl and immediately Google her name when you get home on the off-chance she might have made a bad boyfriend choice or needed some money a few years ago.
