Ok guys, I was pretty much amazed when I saw this video, showing people fail on a huge scale when asked: “what is a browser”. Flabbergasted is actually more like it. It’s like people not knowing the answer to the question: “what is an engine”? This video shows people trying to come up with an answer. There is actually a Dutch version of this video as well (crappy), shot in Rotterdam and it shows exactly the same result. Sorry, how can millions of people use a browser, but not know what it actually is? Well to answer the question: a browser is just a piece of software that runs on your computer and enables you to actually look at webpages and “surf the web” in order to see my Blog.
I guess it proofs one point: the browser has become so ubiquitous that people don’t even realize it’s there!
