“The British government is proposing that Twitter is to be taught in primary (elementary) schools as part of a wider push to make online communication and social media a permanent part of the UK’s education system. And that’s not all. Kids will be taught blogging, podcasting and how to use Wikipedia alongside Maths, English and Science.”
Fantastic. Now the Brits are going to sound irrefutably intelligent while citing WikiGRL87 in 140 characters or less. America is doomed.
Continuing debate topic: does the proliferation of instant gratification knowledge that creates niche experts (for pretty much everything) dilute the power of intelligence and the importance of academia?
