Every 18 months they'd move you into a smaller place, cut your pay in half, and make you work twice as fast. You'd wear steel boxers because someone would always be trying to get in your back door. You wouldn't have to worry about it for long, because you'd be replaced in 1-5 years.

Everything'd be in 256 colours.
Hippies would be garbage collected.

Penis envy would be replaced by monitor envy. Daily vitamins would be called hotfixes

Marriages would be arranged by online questionaires determining compatability and divorces would only happen when a larger company bought the rights to the questionaire and redesigned it.

In the "size doesn't matter" department: smaller would suddenly become better

Dating two women at once would be OK with each of them if you used the right boot loader.

Grounding your kids would involve cutting their connection to a 14.4 Modem speed for a week.

1- For the kids, disney land is "My Pictures"

2- A ticket out of the Recycled Bin would be sold on the black market

3- The Federal authorities would be replaced by the "Task Manager"

4 - A deadly storm that washes your city away is called umount
