Luddism (or the contrary)

[Otto Sell]

"Newest Survey Shows Most Americans Have Confidence in Science, But Lack
Understanding
Science & Engineering Indicators 2000 reports new data A 1999 survey on the
public's understanding of science shows that while Americans' confidence and
interest in science and technology is very high, their understanding of
basic science facts and principles remains quite low."

the survey results can be found in Chapter 8 of
http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/seind00/start.htm, downloadable in plain text,
html or pdf.

. . . maybe one looses confidence and gets luddite when getting knowledge .
