Yeah; now they think that Chrome is...

I don't think people are ditching internet relay chat because they can't figure out how to run an app.

But if I had to think of a modern equivalent of this joke, I would say now they think that Wi-Fi and the internet are synonyms.

PSA: there is an Android application named "Google" (sic) which is a browser, but it's not Chrome. This browser application stores every interaction (browsing history, etc) on the server-side. My mother-in-law uses it .. to buy sweaters from bloggers? She uses it for everything. And yes, she thinks the internet is just named Google. :(

Yikes, that's unfortunate. I have elderly family members with that level of technological literacy, and I've just accepted that they'll never end up on the Fediverse, or IRC (even if I point them to a webchat like Libera's in-browser Gamja and KiwiIRC clients).
