Test your news IQ

Jonco — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:34:32 +0000

This is a terrific and incredibly easy test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don’t have a clue about what’s going on in the world. No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It’s astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn’t have a clue, and that’s pretty scary.

There are no tricks here – just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results are shocking.

I believe it was Winston Churchill who opined that ” . . . the biggest argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . .”

Test your knowledge with 11 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did!

What is it?

Jonco — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:35:28 +0000

Can you guess what the item being unloaded from this airplane with a forklift is?

Answer below

It’s a hard disk drive from 1956.

In September that year IBM launched its 305 RAMAC, the first “super” computer containing a hard drive. The hard drive weighed over a ton and had a memory of whopping 5 MB.

Now maybe you’ll appreciate your 16 GB memory stick or your 64 GB Phone.

Thanks Joey (from Sweden)
