I still have my doubts, especially after watching "Jay Walking" on Leno, but these same people who can't find Iraq on a map perhaps are able to listen to their iPod, send a text, and order something in Fratalian at Starbucks without batting an eyelash (well, maybe they can't but that is a different "intelligence" if you will). What I find frustrating among "educated" people today, and by that I mean the residents I try to train to become good doctors is a disturbing lack of knowledge of basic principles and being able to apply them to real life situations. Too many measures of intelligence are multiple choice tests, and life does not give you choice A, B, C, or D. Voxmoose – Nicely written.
