Do they understand anything at all about computers? It sounds kind of
hokey, but you could try telling them that an Internet browser is sort of
like a TV set in that it lets them see what's "on" the Internet.
The URL box is where you pick the "channel," and in order to find what
different "channels" are available, you scan the TV Guide. In this case,
that would be Google (or whatever) where they enter topical key words.
It's worth a try...
