>think that Facebook is the full extent of the internet:
My mother wanted to "get on the internet" because of the Facebook phenomenon a few years ago. Now she thinks Facebook is the full extent of the internet. Googling something or visiting a "homepage" is completely foreign to her. She'll search in the Facebook bar or ask questions in her feed if she's looking for information. Now she has a smartphone, and outside of texting and the odd call, only uses the Facebook app.
Obviously, her aptitude and usage is minimal, but it's an interesting phenomenon to behold.
- dopamean 11y agoYou would describe your mother's aptitude as "obviously minimal?"
- Retrograderz 11y agoMost likely she just prefers it that way. Sure, could Google search, but Facebook search is right there plus she likes it.
