"The Internet has infiltrated our daily lives. We spend large amounts of our time using social networks and shopping online, but a new Pew Center study found that most Americans have a hard time answering basic questions about how the Internet actually works."
I got 67.something %.

1. 9 out of 12

It's a series of tubes.

2. I got a measly 9/12, but I protest a couple of my wrong answers

I don't think iPhones have anything to do with knowledge of the internet.
I don't give a shit who CEOs of internet based companies are.
I admit I missed the Facebook question, fair & square.

3. I got all of those wrong too -

all good points.

[cyberswede]

4. Oh...and very few of those questions address "how the internet actually works"

They were more like trivia questions. The quiz was fun, though.

11. 7/12

Missed 3 you listed plus first browser and how many transistors.

[blackcrowflies]

14. right

A lot of that stuff is so non-essential. They hardly asked anything about the founding or early days.

[Callmecrazy]

5. I got 100%...

I'm a genius.
Why do I even bother talking to you people?

6. 9/12 Couple of lucky guesses, though!

You scored better than 90.2% of the public, below 4.7% and the same as 5.2%.

7. 9/12

Not bad for an old board who got into it late and learned by doing -- blowing up a couple of computers.

8. 10 out of 12

Not bad. I feel little shame in getting the release year of the first iPhone wrong. And Moore's law...isn't that more of a computing history question?

[sakabatou]

12. Same

[UglyGreed]

9. I don't do twitter, facebook and don't own a cell phone.

But for a old man I don't mind my score. You scored better than 48.8% of the public, below 32.6% and the same as 18.7%.

10. 11 out of 12

I'm not in the IT business, so that score kind of scares me. I need to go outside more.

[Crabby Appleton]

13. 12 of 12

more than 99.8 % of test takers

I'm a retired network engineer/IT manager, I was using the Internet before it was the Web.

15. 11 of 12

Not sure why the year of the first IPhone has anything to do with the "basics" of the Internet.

16. 11 of 12...

I'm surprised I answered that many correctly because I'm an old fart.
