Face Memory

One of the best things about the internet is the development of social media. According to a recent study of the most frequent users of Facebook (high school students and your mom), users really enjoy being able to share their ideas with the world, catch up with old friends, and keep up with events in others' lives, none of which would be possible without the internet.

For the most part, Facebook relationships are easy; the occasional wall post or status comment (coming soon: "auto-like") keeps things congenial. However, every so often a rogue friend will invite you to an event that doesn't involve voting for them in the Skankiest Thanksgiving Day Parade Participant contest in the local paper. These rare occasions where you must socialize without a keyboard proxy can be thrilling, but they are actually fraught with peril.
