      Her class assignment was to interview an "old person" about his life, so my niece asked me, "What was the biggest historical event that happened during your childhood?"

      "I’d have to say the moonwalk," I replied.

      She looked disappointed. "That dance was so important to you?"

        We all have gaps in our knowledge that we are unaware of, but sometimes those can be astonishing, as when a woman in her 20s told me that she had just learned Jackie O. was the widow of JFK. Same person. Who knew?

        Another example, anecdote found online:

        In 2004, I went to Cleveland to canvass for John Kerry, and when we got to the campaign center, they told
        us (me and some college students) "Too bad you weren’t here five minutes ago, Matt Dillon and Paul
        Newman were just here." One of the students asked me "I know the salad dressing but what else did Paul
        Newman do?" I said "The Hustler, HUD, Butch Cassidy, The Color of Money," and the students all looked
        at me blankly, having never heard of any of these movies.
