>This is important. Remember, most people don't even know what a browser is. Internet Explorer is very cleverly named: people don't think they're opening a browser, they think they're opening the internet. It is funny that you say this. Today, I'm visiting a friend and his family. His grandma asked his sister: "what is the internet." And her response was pretty much: "it is simple. Let me explain. It is so you can do research for homework, watch videos, and read email." Up until today, I've only heard of such ignorance about the internet, but never have I seen it. My first thought was: "wow, it is like that HN submission about how if you ask a kid why the sun exists, their response would be, "to make things grow."" We cannot separate external experience from self without effort, a bit of training, and some self awareness. Something the laymen rarely wants to do. Mistaking their initial reactions as true to the world, since it is apparently true to them. The internet experience is only one example of this.
