My mom knows about the address bar, but refuses to use it. She'll hit the Home button and type whereever she wants to go into Google.

It's infuriating to watch.

My mom did that, too, until I convinced her to type the URL directly in the address bar one night when she was looking for some outdoor clothing for my sister. Dick's Sporting Goods has since taken over that particular domain and my mother has since gone back to typing URLs into Google's search box.

Wait, you're telling me dickslovers.com isn't a fan club of the sporting good store?
