People
are constantly exposed to new faces – so much that we’ve begun to ignore many
of the people we see. Even if we recognize a name or a face, we still have
difficulty identifying people we’ve seen many times. Over the past week, I have
surveyed students and teachers to see if they could name famous individuals.
35
out of 90 people (39%) could identify Joe Biden, the vice president.
12
out of 90 people (13%) could identify Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader in the
House of Representatives.
0
out of 90 people (0%) could identify Dan Brown, the author of Angel and Demons and The Da Vinci Code.
13
out of 90 people (14%) could identify J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter.
How
would you have fared? Below are two pictures of famous people. Send in your
answers to apexlegacy@yahoo.com!
