For about an hour this morning, humans across the world were briefly forced to interact with each other in person.
Facebook and Instagram went down, leaving millions of users around the world briefly unable to post selfies or humblebrag.
Visitors were greeted with a message that said, "Sorry, something went wrong." For others, the page wouldn't load.
The outage affected a large portion of the US, Asia, Australia New Zealand and Africa as reported having trouble logging on.
People quickly took to Twitter. And the outage quickly spawned a hashtag, #facebookdown.
About 52 minutes later, both sites were up and running. Facebook said the outage wasn't a third party attack but "instead occurred after we introduced a change that affected our configuration systems."
WOW.
