Maps names of websites? I don't know what that means. Timmy showed me The Amazon and the egg cooker from there worked wonderfully so I don't want an ad blocker.



Granmda knew what it meant. She'd been looking up names in the phonebook here whole life, mapping them to numbers.

Been doing the same thing for lots of paper databases, like address books, and been using indexes in books too.

Not to mention, how the library indexed books in her day.

Zero confusion about DNS after I explained urls to her. None.
