When every day is consumed with web sites, e-mail and instant messages, it's easy to forget there's a big world outside your cube. The staff of Ohio SEO firm Pilot Fish took some time out recently to share their funny assessment of how they know they've been spending too much time online.

1 Your spouse has lost his keys and you tell him to "Google it."
2 Someone mentions "Chrome" and you think computer, not cars.
3 You find a picture of yourself on a web page on the Way Back Machine.
4 Your kids have bought you your own domain for Christmas.
5 You can't "wake up" till you've downloaded your e-mail.
6 You call your kids in for dinner, via texting.

9 You catch yourself thinking "lol" when you laugh.
10 Every bet in a bar is settled with Google.
11 Your pets' names are Ebay, Yahoo and YouTube.
12 Your time, wardrobe, diet and budget have been "optimized."
13 You can't remember your relatives' names, but know the screen names of everyone on the chat boards you visit.
14 You count typing on the keyboard as exercise.
15 You didn't lose your wallet, you just had a 404 moment.
16 You look forward to going to the dentist, having the oil changed and waiting for a table at the restaurant so you can catch up on your e-mail.
17 Your kid asks you to play Scrabble and you grab your laptop.
18 A salesperson at the department store offers to assist you and you tell her you're "just surfing."
19 Who goes to department stores?
