A man with locked-in syndrome has joined Twitter and sent his first tweet – “Hello world”. Tony Nicklinson, who seven years ago had a major stroke that left his body completely paralysed, used special eye movement technology to access the social networking site.

I am tony nicklinson, I have locked-in syndrome and this is my first ever tweet.” Read the full story at The Guardian.
