Cats on FaceBook

Two middle-aged cats, Jemima and Lolita, are discussing behavior of the younger generation.

...

Jemima: You know, my daughter, Jessica, told me she communicates with her friend by Internet.

Lolita: She can type?

Jemima: Oh no. Her owner, sorry, her pet human, types a message to her friend who says “Tell your cat, my cat Jessica says hi.”

Lolita: Don’t tell me. Then her friend’s cat sends a message back through her pet human.

Jemima: A shifted reality? We meet here on the street, talk face to face, communicate blink to blink. Humans type messages to each other over the Internet and sometimes meet. But modern cats locked up in apartments get second-hand messages through humans over the Internet and never meet.

Lolita: Matrix? They're not aware of a parallel universe?

Passing fashion

Jens persists in trying to strike up a conversation with Astrid who is less impressed by his communication skills than he would wish.
...

Jens: So how can I get in touch? Email?

Astrid: Old hat. Don’t use it, except on my phone…

Jens: So how do you…?

Astrid: Communicate? I text, I phone, I drop in on myspace and facebook.

Jens: I have a computer. Do you blog?

Astrid: Blog? Oh, come on, so passé.
