As a result, Americans have become much worse off having basic knowledge. How about the fact that every fourth person is sure that the sun revolves around our planet? Basically, this is the problem of youth. Many young people now can not even take a test to go to military service. The IQ test conducted among them shows rather poor results, but a survey of 2,392 men and *women showed that most of them (61%), being confident in the importance of computer technologies in the modern world, stated that USB is an abbreviation for the name of the country and “Motherboard” is the deck of the ship.
Ahh yes, the use and abuse of statistics! How many people in the survey were from the East or West coast, high fliers in NY for example? Or were they all pulled from the middle bible belt creationist believers?! See, I can do sweeping statements too!
Looking at that list I would take those results with a very large pinch of salt.
Must ask the US rellies with Oxford degrees if they were included in this survey!
