Study: Social Media Making Forgetting Romantic Breakups Difficult
Even though digital photos and emails can be deleted in no time, the proliferation of social media has made getting over a romantic breakup a bigger chore than in the bygone era.

The engineering and design team behind the project developed a device that monitors social media activity in order to keep the car running.

The more tweets, likes and shares the project gets on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, the more "juice" the car's battery gets, and the further it can travel, Stuff.co.nz reported.

The team is planning to drive from Kansas City to Washington DC on its Social Fuel Tour, and as such, it's relying on social media buzz to get there. If no-one tweets, shares or likes the project, the electric motor stops.
