That's a sample size of one person's experience. I on the other hand am constantly meeting people who's only mode of navigation on the web involves typing the word "facebook", or "gmail", or, yes, even "google" into the address bar, and then clicking on the relevant google search result. It drives me crazy, and despite my constant wailings using the same exact argument you make above ("Why would you want to always ask and trust a search engine when you already know how to get somewhere?") ... they simply shrug their shoulders and keep on keepin' on.

Yes, I can't argue with that, though I am meeting an increasing number of non-techies who are interested in different (better) ways of using the web and IT in general.
