Twitter Is Making You Stupid: Study
Every day roughly 126 million people hop on Twitter to participate in a near-instantaneous flow of information, and it's making users more stupid according to a team of Italian researchers.
While analyzing the impact of Twitter when used to teach literature, economists at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan found that it doesn't just fail as an educational aid, it actually reduced standardized test scores between 25% – 40% of a standard deviation.
