these type of surveys rarely fail to annoy me. so people in the uk are baffled by techno jargon. fair enough, that doesn’t surprise me. but why do they ask such pointless questions? that 13% of the population know what WAP stands for amazes me that it’s that high. nobody needs to know what WAP stands for. sales people who can explain what WAP is to potential mobile buyers would be useful but being able to parrot that it means “Wireless Application Protocol” (which is information the reporter doesn’t even bother to enlighten us with) is of absolutely no use to anyone. how many web surfers know what HTTP stands for? how many care? surveying how baffled people are is all very well, but at least see how baffled they are by things that’d be useful to know!
