Do you know what a browser is?

DAD STOP CALLING IT "FOXFIRE"

a browser is some one who goes to a store and looks for hours but doesn't buy anything

that video is genius.

I'd like to know the percentage of people who could correctly answer the question "do you know what a Bowser is?"

You beat me to it, except I was going to say "That's easy, he's the boss of Mario right?" which would have been funnier. FUNNIER!

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"

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?

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.

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.

I honestly can't tell if your answer is some form of irony or if you just didn't RTFQ.
