Nearly a quarter (24 percent) of people are wrong in their belief that humans can be teleported. Nearly 50 percent of adults wrongly believe that memory-erasing technology exists. More than 40 percent of people incorrectly believe that hover boards exist. http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/stories/survey-shows-many-people-believe-science-fiction-is-real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Nearly 50 percent of adults wrongly believe that memory-erasing technology exists. Well, actually... How broad is the definition of "memory-erasing technology"? Because I can think of at least one technology - ECT - that'll !@#$ with your memory.

LeviF Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 it really is amazing when results like this come back -- it makes me wonder if 1 in 5 americans like to screw around on these Reminds me of a line I heard or read once, something like "Think of how stupid a person with average intelligence is. Now, by definition, half of the population is dumber than that." So, instead of 1 in 5 Americans enjoying screwing around on polls, perhaps 5 out of 10 Americans are just plain stupid. Or maybe even 6 in 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Reminds me of a line I heard or read once, something like "Think of how stupid a person with average intelligence is. Now, by definition, half of the population is dumber than that." So, instead of 1 in 5 Americans enjoying screwing around on polls, perhaps 5 out of 10 Americans are just plain stupid. Or maybe even 6 in 10. Clearly there are dumb people out there but I would guess atleast a large percentage of those are starwars fans just messing around (globalize as needed to other questions) and people being stupid to be funny (being a pain is cool!) Let's be honest - how many people in this very thread would say yes to memory erasing as a liquor joke and not a "I believe in that little pen will smith carried in men in black" sense. I dont doubt several percentage points are real though and that's still a huuuuge number of people. Edited March 17, 2011 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
