I have been arguing forever that as twitter becomes more ubiquitous over time, eventually it will so corrupt our ability to communicate that no one will be able to talk without stopping after 120 characters. Apparently I was wrong

The website Mashable reported that a college professor at the University of Michigan recently released a study that suggests not only that students who use Twitter are more engaged and have higher grades, but that Twitter itself is becoming an entirely new "literary practice."

Twitter is now responsible for the Green Revolution in Iran, the Arab Spring, Occupy, and making kids better at school. What can't Twitter do, you might ask? Nothing.

Absolute photographic proof that Twitter makes you a better person.
