What is a web browser?

In commemoration of my 100th post, I decided to do a video post. Here I give a rough overview of what a web browser is. I'm sure it'll need more work, but hey it's a first and I just put it together with movie maker through windows.

The inspiration for this post was my mom, I was attempting to set her up with Google Voice, and when I was needing to get her to get on the internet she asked me "You mean click aol?". Unfortunately I suspect very strongly that my mom thinks that aol is the internet, and there are alot of people out there that think the same thing. Sit back relax, and hopefully I'm at least somewhat entertaining.



Once you've finished watching let's re-iterate what I'm trying to get across.
1. Web browser's are not the internet.
2. Web browser's are the vehicle that get's you to web pages.
3. You aren't stuck with only one web browser, you can try other ones.
4. Things you want to keep in mind are speed, real estate, following standards, usability, popups, and addon's.
