New test coming our way?

Below is a quote from Business Week about plans to create a national technology literacy assessment. What do you think?

Click on this link, http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/10/1028_tech_test_quiz/index.htm, to take Business Week's technology quiz. I got 10/11. How tech savvy are you?


"In a bid to make technology literacy more widespread, the National Assessment Governing Board this month announced plans to develop the first nationwide assessment of technological learning in U.S. schools. NAGB, a government-commissioned independent council, awarded nonprofit WestEd, a 40-year-old educational research and service group, a $1.86 million contract to work with educators, school officials, the business community, and the public on constructing the test, set to hit schools in 2012."

Fellow nerd, I also got 10/11. I don't know if I should admit that I missed the one about the difference between the WWW and the Internet.
