Today, Facebook went down. There was mass panic - what was everyone supposed to do now?! It seemed almost apocalyptic - seriously, the world as we know it pretty much almost ended. It was practically an international catastrophe. So if this had stayed permanent, and Facebook didn’t exist, how would your life change as you know it…?

1. How would people know you’ve been on holiday? If you’ve gone on holiday, and nobody was there to see your pics, did you go on holiday at all?

2.  How would people know you’ve had a baby? Your first child is a big step. Arguably, because the announcement and subsequent pictures are going to get you the most ‘likes’ you’ve ever had! If you miss seeing the pictures, you could try scrolling Google images for a similar effect.

3. You’d actually have to wait the required amount of time to get your lives back on Candy Crush… you couldn’t ask anyone for help!

4.  Women wouldn’t know about weight loss supplements and men wouldn’t know about steroids, because badly targeted, stereotypical adverts wouldn’t exist. On that note, we would all die alone, because none of us would manage to find a partner without dating sites.

5. On that note, how would we show off our new relationship status?! Or stalk our friends?!

6.  How would we stay in touch? It seems obvious, but seriously. I don’t think we even have each other’s phone numbers anymore.

7. We might actually have to get to know our families. I know, right? They seem like nice people. We could give it a go.

8. We’d have nowhere to get up on our Soapbox in more than 140 characters. Those long, ranty posts that you end up tweeting a link to anyway? Yep, a thing of the past.

9.  Life would stop being a game of numbers and popularity contests would no longer be a thing after high school.

10. We’d all know a whole lot fewer people who identified themselves as ‘models’.
