Social Death Clock

The death clock is an old relic of the Internet. It was probably created based on the promise of the world wide web being able to provide an answer to virtually any question. Unfortunately, the death clock, or death clocks, cannot precisely predict anyone's death, only an estimate based on some survey responses.

The Social Death Clock can perhaps offer a similarly inaccurate service. Social death is an idea close to the sociological concept of anomie. That idea will not be defined here, but social death can refer to the pont when a person ceases to have an identity, or is not included in social groupings. For most people social death will occur in old age or shortly after death. But for other people social death will occur much sooner, or perhaps even later than that.

Questions:

1. What year were you born?
(This will sort survey takers into key demographic groupings that will be generally weighted for intensity of socializing).

2. What is your gender?
(Males will be given a lesser weighting than females)

3. Are you married single or divorced?
(Married women will recieve a deduction, married men an increase, divorced men a deduction, and divorced women an increase.)

4. To what degree are you involved in community events?
(Increases for more involvement deductions for less involvement).

5. Employed or unemployed.
(Increase former , deduction latter).

6. How many relatives are included in your immediate family?
(Increase for more deduction for less).

7. Do you think people are utter bastards?
(Deduction for yes).

8. How many friends and acquaintances do you enjoy?
(Increase for more deduction for less)

10. Have you had a prominent role in any major motion pictures, artistic works, scientific discoveries, or political events? (Major increase for yes)

Etc. goddamn you

From answering these questions the survey taker will recieve an approximate time of social death between several years ago and in very few cases a hundred plus years after death.
