Public curiosity in science and tech varies widely around the world. According to a recent Statista survey nearly one in two respondents in Brazil and India said that they either read about, watch content on or listen to information about these fields of interest. In the United States, nearly three in ten respondents said the same. This places science and technology eighth out of a possible 19 areas of interest, ranking behind topics such as movies, TV shows and music (54 percent) and food and dining (45 percent). Among American men, 35 percent of respondents said it was a personal interest compared to 20 percent of women.
