That leads into my next point - I don't really think these results are even all that negative. Am I the only one that was actually surprised at the number of correct responses on some of these? That many people really know what URL stands for (remember, these are ostensibly the same people who don't know what a browser is)? It's hard to tell for sure, but the wording of the questions leads me to think the survey was something along the lines of multiple choice, which may explain some results (net neutrality), but others remain mystifying (privacy policy). The questions seem a little all over the place, but overrall these results are no worse than I would have expected. They might actually be a little better.
