Those stats are completely made up and hypothetical- I assume it's about that ratio. Honestly, do you think that when levers or simple machines were first introduced, they became widely available before people actually understood them? Hardly. The same applies to cars- so many, so so so many are in existence. But it's considered special, important knowledge, to know how such an essential part of the north american life style can be repaired or improved.
This is the weirdest part of modern culture: using something without understanding. One could apply the same concept to food even- all those compounds and artificial chemicals? What happened to ingredients?
So yes, this is what I'm stressing over. And I have to decide for tomorrow- no big. Math vs. Computers- the ultimate choice of geeks everywhere.
***Edit: I chose Data. math wins always.
good choice! Math is always more useful
