Making Data Matter

Scott Klososky

You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat. He emails you back from his bedroom, "What's for dinner?"

Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site.

You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this year.

Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.

You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.

Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses.

You wake up at 2am to go to the bathroom and check your E-mail on your way back to bed.

SIGNS you live in the year 2001...
