Kinda cute, but I'm sure as a whole Canada wouldn't do much better. ;)

Steve Jobs and Sir Tim Berners-Lee baffle the Brits

Leading technology figures may have an image problem in the UK, according to a survey.

In a poll of 1000 British people, 20% had never heard of Apple chief executive Steve Jobs and a further 10% thought he worked for a trade union.

Fifteen percent believed that web creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee was either head of MI5 or an Arctic explorer.

Microsoft boss Bill Gates was the most well-known but 5% of the group thought he was a comedian or a famous thief.

Technology buzzwords were also found to be open to misinterpretation.

One in ten respondents to the light-hearted survey thought that a wireless dongle was a sex toy and 6% affirmed that VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) was a sexually transmitted disease.

Social networking sites also stumped 11% of the group who were unable to name a single one. Facebook was the most commonly known, with 72% name-checking the global site, while only 12% picked out Twitter.

It suggests that the technology industry needs to be more accessible, says Lewis PR, the firm behind the survey.

"This demonstrates a need for everyone involved in the industry to speak about technology and the benefits it brings clearly and succinctly," said spokesman Eb Adeyeri.

VHD is not exactly something that the general public would know what it is or what it stands for.

I had VHD once. I got it from a girl in Tijuana. We spent a night in each other's arms and when I woke up in the morning she was gone. My head was killing me, my wallet was empty, and I had the starting of an itchy rash.
After several painful injections and a gallon of topical ointment I was cured.

I still think about her.

hi fella,

i still think about you too

The majority of the british population are the most close minded retards i've met. They think they still own most of the world and are too good to need to learn anything else or go anywhere. Not to mention they're lazy as fuk.

Its undeniable that Britain is still the financial
Center of the world. Too bad, they make the first move.
That's the rules.

What they do with this advantage is there own bloody business.
If old people don't want to learn and old people want to continue
being ignoramus, then too bloody bad.
