Elsewhere: What is a Browser?
A very telling video about what the average person is thinking when they use the Web.

Erm… was there a link involved?
Ahem, I should have searched first - it was easy enough to find.
This sort of thing comes up every year and a half and is clearly intended to shame those of us who actually know what we’re doing. Because not everybody does! And we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Seriously, how long would it take to teach these people what a browser is?
These will, I assure you, be the same people who type URLs into Google, which they got to by typing http colon slash slash www dot google dot com into the address bar.
Really: Who said people could use the Web without learning even the basics?
No one could accuse you of holding back on the curmudgeonliness, Joe :) (Sorry, that probably isn’t a word.)
To me it emphasises that OS, browser and “search engine” are all converging into the same thing. Firefox/Chrome/whatever is rapidly becoming the OS. Not that the interviewees would know what an “OS” is either, but perhaps it increasingly doesn’t matter.
