How has social media changed your life?
"It's helped keep my social life organized! Let's be honest, who can memorize over 2,000 birthdays?"

What is the most annoying characteristic about social media?
"Facebook event invites — while I love that my friends are having cool events, it sometimes seems quite impersonal to receive 100 notifications a day."

What kind of status updates bug you?
"Food status updates — it's as if my friends are taunting me with their love of pork buns or fried chicken wings. Don't they know I'm on a never-ending diet?"
