I'm currently TAing for a class called "Introduction to Information Fluency" which is based on teaching the bare minimum required for non-technical people to not be helpless in today's society. The book for the class was directly created in response to the study by the nsf: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321357825/qid=11 37537623/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-843497 8-5059017?n=507846&s=books&v=glance
I recommend people who actually care about the study just check out the TOC of that book. Also, the task is not at all as hopeless as people make it out to be.

I just don't really sleep. Also, I had to test it with and without stubble. -T
