Which reminds me of this:

Shorty Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 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..." Pff, get with the times I was on google in the middle of the peak district last Saturday.

Goafer Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 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.
