Made me think of a river guide I met. He was a young man, 30-ish, partly college educated and from a wealthy family. He had spent almost his whole adult life as a river guide in the US or South America (or generally just playing).
We were sitting around the camp one night and I mentioned that the ISS was going to fly overhead that night and we should be able to see it from camp. His reaction was basically "What's an ISS? There's a space station up there?" He wasn't fooling. But at least he had heard of the moon landings. Sort of. In a CT kind of way (sigh...)
