Bold of you to assume people know the difference between an app and a website.

The App:

One WebBrowser component.

A straw to slurp all your location and contact data.

Annoying notifications.

There was a booth at my farmers market (I know) that bragged about how they can turn any website into a app.

And I wanted to (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻) their table

I was astonished when I first learned that hardly anyone enters web addresses anymore, then it made sense when I realized that almost everyone browses on their phones and uses the app versions of whatever they scroll, which is really only going to be somewhere between three and a dozen sites anyway, people don't just "surf the internet" anymore, they scroll content aggregators and social media feeds. People hate making choices or having control, they want to turn off their mind and just be fed sensations and experiences.

Because of this most people don't really know HOW websites and networks work, when I explain things like how cookies work, how to refresh a page, how to navigate to specific parts of a website by changing the address, how to search the web for alternatives, etc. I get looked at like either an annoying nerd or some kind of wizard.
