Many years ago, the website "www.www.com" was an informational site about the history of the Internet (it's since been removed). One day, I accidentally typed in "www.com" and hit ENTER. My mom was looking over my shoulder, and when the info page came up, she told me, "Obviously, if you type www.com, you don't know how to use the Internet. That's not a real website, it's the computer trying to teach you what you're doing wrong."
I was 10, she was 40. She totally believed that, and I was internally laughing at her for years.
