I think my social signature has shrunk from 2 to 1 to possibly 0. I do have friends, but I'm not sure if they're classified as "close friends" because I don't interact with them (online or offline) everyday. I haven't spoken to my "best friend" in a year. I'm curious to know what the definition of "close friend" is, vs "friend" and "loose friend".

/agree.

And, hell, 18 months is 3 periods of study. I can't even remember my first 15 months of college, as it passed in a drunken stupor...

Maybe they'll turn it into a decades-long project, though, and chart the progress of those subjects over that time. At which they'll find that, after a certain amount of time has passed, their initial assumptions are proven dead wrong.
