Just like Rip Van Winkle in Washington Irving's story of the same name, what would you do if you suddenly
woke up after twenty years, say after a coma?
What's the first thing you would do or say? Which changes in the world over the past twenty years would have most surprised you?

After 20 years in a coma; I think I'd be doing a LOT of physical therapy!

I'd be over 18!

I'd get my driver's license, go into an alcoholic stupor, and sleep with pretty much the first attractive human being I see. :blush:

I don't really know what would surprise me but the first thing I would say would be: "Chocolate. Now!"

If I woke up today from a 20 year coma, I think that access to the internet and the advances in computers would amaze me the most. And the size of cell phones! Remember when they were so big?:lol:
