Here’s a fun fact for you. More often than not, the average person gets this question wrong:
“What is half of 1?”
I work in this industry. It’s bad. There’s so many reasons. Shit like iPads, which were expertly marketed by Apple despite having zero educational utility, are certainly part of the problem.
