People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Is social media anxiety a thing? The crippling fear that when attempting to say something insightful and innocuous online, I'll make a simple mistake and be ridiculed, ostracized, and possibly meme-icized by the entire Internet community?
