Google is where the internet begins, for some people

There are so many people I know that have no idea that websites have addresses. That they just load their browser, get a google homepage (or some other home page with a google box) and they type in what they want there.

I recently told a family member to go to yahoo.com, and rather than just go to it, they plug it into Google and search for it and then go to it from the results. Getting them to go to one of my sites (that isn't listed first in google) can be a real chore!

There's no real point to this post, it's just a rant of frustration with people who can't do the simplest tasks online. Sometimes in my own little twisted mind, I try to picture them navigating the net before Google was around. And I chuckle.
