This article from Mashable is about Google’s video explaining what a browser is, but I hadn’t seen the interviews Google did asking people what a browser is. From their responses, I think a reasonable percentage of these people got confused because the questions probably went something like this: ‘Hi I’m Scott from Google, what’s a browser?’ Because people went into ‘I haven’t got a clue about computers’-mode, so latched on to the name Google. Particularly when then asked ‘What browser do you use?’.
Funny anyway.
