The end was nigh...

The world ended for around an hour this past week when *gasp* Facebook, Instagram and Tinder were down. There was mass hysteria on Twitter with people freaking out as if the world was literally ending. We have now reached the moment in time when humans are too dependent on social media.

Facebook says the outage "occurred after we introduced a change that affected our configuration systems."

That's it. A simple thing that companies do every day and this time it didn't work. They were not hacked despite Lizard Squad tweeting about it. But these days it seems easier to blame hackers for DDoS attacks than ever believing that a company can make a mistake.

In other news, we're still rushing headlong into the reality of Idiocracy.
