We've all said something we wish we hadn't. Before the days of answering machines, we had time to compose our thoughts while the phone continued to ring waiting on someone else to pick it up. When the answering machine came along, it was like having the person there to listen to you blabber.
With the invention of email and text messaging, our mistakes didn't stay between those within earshot of the conversation. Some mishaps are so bad that they become viral over the internet. And as for Facebook and Twitter? Well, let's just say it can't get much worse on the speed that your errors in judgment are made available to the world.
The Social Media Sobriety Test aims to help with at least one of the ways to prevent you or someone you love from making a statement that may cause them to get divorced, fired, arrested or shamed by society.
A simple install will prevent those who are not quite of sound mind and body from posting on various websites like Twitter or Facebook by requiring them to pass some simple tests. One of which is typing the alphabet backwards. Another is keeping the cursor inside of the moving circle.
Will this be enough to prevent a social catastrophe? Probably not. I thought about buying this for a couple people as a Christmas present. Maybe it's best if I buy it now before the holiday parties start.
Too drunk for Facebook? This tool may help
