Pew Research Center Study of Interest and, for me, disappointment
Public Knowledge of Current Affairs Little Changed by News and Information Revolutions
What Americans Know: 1989-2007
This is a fascinating and potentially disturbing report. For your own interest, you can take the quiz they offered those who participated in the study. I took it a little while ago and found that myself in the 96th percentile as I was able to correctly answer every question. One may draw from a large range of conclusions regarding this report and what it reveals. I’ve no desire to write that book as I’m lazy and would likely grow depressed doing so.
