Google: What is a Browser?
Google conducted a small survey in Times Square not too long ago simply asking people, “What is a browser?” The result was that less than 8% of those interviewed knew the answer. Most people responded with search engines such as Google and Yahoo but a few were on point naming Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
The interviewer later asks participants, “Have you heard of Google’s browser Chrome?” with no positive results (keep in mind this video was shot around October 2008). I’m sure most of us who work online will get a laugh out of this one, I certainly did when I saw a friend of mine in the video get tripped up as if it was a loaded question. I apologize in advance to my friend for this post, however she is the one who showed me the video!
