get with it
Join the present
Get with it is an imperative urging someone to pay attention, catch up, or adapt to current circumstances.
It implies the person is lagging behind—mentally, socially, or in understanding what's happening: Get with it, we don't have all day.
The phrase can chide someone for being out of touch: Fax machines? Get with it, grandpa.
