| Gullible? this one should hook you The U.S. is the most technologically advanced nation in the world. FALSE. Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and many European countries easily eclipse the U.S. in terms of bandwidth, wi-fi and overall connectivity. Japan leads the world in hybrid vehicle technology and robotics research. Canada is a world leader in fuel cell technology, far surpassing the United States. India now graduates ten times as many engineers as the U.S., and China is fast becoming a major technical contender as well. The U.S. has fundamentally lost its manufacturing technology base, and its universities no longer dominate the world's technical learning institutions. Although the U.S. is still a technology player in the global marketplace, it is clearly no longer the most technologically advanced nation in the world. the site: http://www.newstarget.com/gullibility.html I got a 67  |

| Got an 82%.... After all these years of being told that i was stubborn and closed minded, I finally feel vindicated! I am free thinker !!! Saltwater, i dont think its a capitalist vs communist or republican vs liberal thing. We are truely being deceived constantly, whether it is from our parents, friends, governments, religious leaders.... I mean seriously, we are truly gullible. Most people follow a certain religion b/c their parents are of that religion. Most people believe Democracy is best even though theyve never experienced other forms of political systems. Most people think black is worse that white. We are perceptions are being shaped by outside influences. We are not an island to ourselves- please mind the clique or holes in the examples- try to understand the overall point |

| I look forward to the day when generation X or Y or Z or whatever you call us 20-somethings of today dominates all forms of marketing. We've been brought up to be cynical of everything, even to the point of being cynical of the cynics. To make us believe any particular marketing statement is gonna take a heap of convincing... |

| >> To make us believe any particular marketing statement is gonna take a heap of convincing... If you're involved in marketing, I strongly recommend taking a look at Malcom Gladwell's Tipping point. Will change the cynic in you ... |
