Also, I think that wikipedia's lifetime will be a bit longer. Besides, nowadays primary school kids don't really 'move on to the modern world': they are already there. Many times before their teachers are. Still, I agree that it's probably silly to teach them twitter skills. Those they'll probably get on their own, while some other, more important and general skills are harder to come by.
