The "internet" (browser I guess?), then Google, now Facebook are all trying to work into the same position: that is the gateway to finding information on the web. Anecdote: myself (and I'm sure many users here) type URLs in the address bar of the browser. My father, who adopted the internet later, types everything in Google. My mother, who adopted it even later, never really leaves Facebook. To her, it's the internet. She doesn't even know to go to Google to search for things. In fact, Facebook is the only thing she really uses the computer for. That's powerful. So, I guess I'm saying that I don't really think that the internet's usage has swayed too far from being a way to seek information. What's changed is how we get to the information.
