Our 18 favourite funny responses to Tuesday’s Facebook and Instagram crash
Most of the world is online to an almost terrifying degree.
Physical newspapers are dying out because of 24-hour rolling internet news, restaurants complain that customers are letting their food go cold as they capture the perfect image for Instagram, and every politician and former politician has a podcast.

Don't panic, you're not alone, LOADS of people seem to be experiencing this right now.
