ksmith | You know you've been reading too many techie articles when...

TV on with the sound off. Commercial comes on for one of the telecommunications companies. As it ends, I see the phrase "Download your contacts," and the first thing I think of are those devices I've read about that may eventually be able to "print" things like batteries and human tissue, and if they can do that, well, downloading the design for your contact lenses and printing them on such a device should be the proverbial piece of cake, right?

All this flashes through my head in a few seconds. Only then does it dawn that the commercial is referring to e-messaging contacts. People.

So mundane.
