WHAT! You talking to me?
As I was responding to a few post comments from one of my earlier blogs it dawned on me just how much our vocabulary has changed. Just imagine what the reaction would be if you made any of the following statements 30 years age.
- · Just send it via snail-mail.
- · Google it.
- · Upload the jpegs from your local drive to the server using ftp.
- · Thanks for the follow.
- · I pinned your Squidoo lens.
- · On NO, I just sat on my Bluetooth!
- · Just GPS me, you will find it – no problem.
- · It’s just not right, my own daughter just un-friended me.
- · Give me a ring on the cell.
- · All you have to do is DVR everything and, BAM, no more commercials.
- · My cursor is frozen.
- · You have plenty of space, that thumb is 16 gig.
I’m sure there are a million more examples. Bet this list could grow into the hundreds.
Have any to add?

Give me your SD card, Jump stick, or Memory Stick. Skype me, Look me up on my YouTube Channel.
Good ones. Funny, I didn't even think of SD cards or digital cameras etc.Thanks. I'll add yours to my list.
Hi, great post. It is interesting to note how our every day usage of words is evolving from those we all used as youngsters in our day. Interesting also to see how these newer phrases are getting into some, but not all, parts of the corporate world,

Hi Kathy
I loved your list.
Our communication is constantly evolving an even though communication is one of my specialties I am constantly having to Google things to keep up.
Mine is not a statement but it's certainly added to a lot of messages.
LOL
Thanks Bis. Google is my best friend. I use it for everything from info searches to spell checking.
If you sat on your bluetooth, you probably didn't take it to the dentist for repair. I'd say you took it to an audiologist, right? LOL
Cute and so true, Kathy. I can remember my daughters asking me what it was like "in the olden days". I was 40 at the time.
I know what you mean. I have three adult children and five grandchildren. How can that be as I feel like I am still in my thirties?s? I know, dream on!
