The average house has a TV, a phone, and soon a computer. The average person has no idea how these things work. What is happening? Shouldn't people who are so depandent on cars be able to know at least a little bit how they work? Or how a TV works? What happens if POOF! All the smart people are gone, and no one knows how to make these things anymore. What would we do? This computer I'm on right now, typing this question; I'll bet only about 10% know how to make one, or how it works. Does anyone know how to make a lightbulb? (Not how they work, because they are just a vacuum of glass with a filiment in it which lights up when a current is run through it; but how to make one? With glass and equipment and stuff). I don't know how my iPod works, or how my computer works, or how my car works, or how a rocket ship works. Shouldn't we at least know how our every-day items are doing what they do? Studies show that 86% of all houses have a refridgerator, and that only 14% know how they work.
