Guest blicero Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 i think all the remarks on the browser being a search engine are due to the interviewer telling them he is from Google. I think that more often, people confuse browser with OS. I often have users tell me their browser is "Vista" Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46736-do-you-know-what-a-browser-is/#findComment-1070793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iain C Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I actually think it's really great that we've reached a stage where people can actually use computers and the internet without knowing even the most rudimentary of technical terms. Accessability is a good thing... isn't it? Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46736-do-you-know-what-a-browser-is/#findComment-1070796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accessability is a good thing... isn't it? I agree. The downside is that its difficult to advertise something to a group of people who dont know what it is thats being advertised. So chrome for example, most people apparently wouldn't know what that is in relation to what they have. I would think though that people who don't know what a browser is wouldn't care to have a different one, if the one they had didnt work properly they would probably know what it is. I guess this really boils down to, who cares IE/Firefox works, who needs chrome. make something innovative and call me back.

Accessability is a good thing... isn't it? i don't think "browser" is "the most rudimentary of technical terms" Google would probably be better off not calling it Google Chrome... and just separate Google from the name, otherwise (dumb) people will assume it is a search product.
