British children to study Twitter in school
CNET News
Madam please don’t worry. We all read Twitter for pleasure. Can there be any other reason?ther British critics seem to be worried that Twitter and Wikipedia are merely fads. But ladies and gentlemen you are the great nation that brought us lasting pleasures such as “Dancing with the Stars” “American Idol” and the Dyson vacuum cleaner thingy. Things that the whole world marvels at and studies every day. The creators of Twitter and Wikipedia can only hope to match the enduring quality of some of the great British contributions to history science and culture.

Are we dangerously dependent on Wikipedia?
