According to a newspaper poll...
 

Eight out of 10 young people think of a blackberry as a mobile phone rather than a fruit, according to a poll.

When asked what a "blackberry" was, 82% of 16 to 24-year-olds said they would be most likely to think instantly of a smartphone, the survey for the Environment Department suggested.

Farming Miinister David Heath said there was a "huge level of disengagement from the countryside" as the survey also revealed that more than half of adults (55%) have not been to a farm in the past 10 years.

And just one in 10 (11%) of the 2,114 adults polled saw farming as the career they would most like to work in, compared with 51% who favoured being a doctor, lawyer or teacher.

Gimps.

I know:joker:.

Not that surprising really, you're a lot more likely to hear/read/talk about the Blackberry phone than the fruit in your everyday life

This. If anything I'm surprised the % isn't higher.

we live in the technological age deal with it

I would.. but I still know what a blackberry (fruit) is :/

omg i've only just realized we have apple iphones, blackberry phones and orange mobile network

So? It's the 21st Century.

sign of the times

not surprising

should of named it whiteberry so that this type of situation would of never occured

Ew Blackberry mine died not long after i got it

Iphones>>>

It's not like they're asking them with context, they're just asking what a Blackberry is, it's a stupid poll, probably done for a ****rag like The Sun, so that they can go on about how stupid young people are.

Wow what utterly shocking and unexpected news this is.

I'm outraged.

Those fools will starve to death when the zombies attack.

Blackberries arnt a very well favoured fruit though. So not surprised in the slightest.

If somebody asked me what 'Apple' was I would say a fruit before the company.
