From the video: The most important program on your computer is your browser
What about text editing, programming IDE's, etc. People just assume that the web browser is the most important these days.
That said I do approve of Google's movement to make the browser more known. It makes a lot of sense and I remember when they were first talking about the fact that most people don't even know what a web browser is. That's sort of surprising, and I guess they are trying to remedy that.
- pwmanagerdied 17y agoI don't think that's really a fair criticism. This isn't aimed a technical audience, and the vast majority of computer users don't even have a clue what an IDE is. I'd guess that the majority of time spent on computers today is spent in web browsers, which would to justify their statement.
- NathanKP 17y agoI guess that is true. Most people just use their computers for emailing or web browsing. Even regular text editing is done less because people don't send as many physical letters, instead they send emails. Still it seems a little bit of a stretch to say that the browser is the most important program on your computer. But that's my opinion obviously.
