Distracted From Science - Interruption Management
Makes you wonder what is distracting them from basic science:
American's Understanding of Science: From the National Science Foundation's biennial report issued at the start of this century on the state of science understanding, research, and education, of 1,574 adults surveyed:
* 46% didn't know long it takes the Earth to orbit the sun. (One year)
* 55% didn't know that lasers work by focusing light.
* 49% didn't know that antibiotics kill bacteria but not viruses.
* 52% didn't know that the earliest humans didn't live at the same time as the dinosaurs.
Also:
* 43% read the astrology charts at least occasionally in the newspaper.
What's worse, the percentages haven't much to this day. Nearly 50% believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 yearsLabels: distracted, information management, knowledge, science, statistics, study
