#3That is not surprising at all. Most of people who use the Internet on mobile don't even now what a browser is, much less a domain name. They search every site they want to visit, even if they just needed to add .com to their search term to open the site straight away in the browser. The "Internet" is the google search box.

Is this a recent experience? I've found the voice search to be incredibly proficient recently. It's slightly embarrassing, but I use it for search and text dictation almost constantly.

I guess a lot of them. I've seen it live, and I don't get out much.

I'm running a "bi lingual" phone. OS language is set to English (because I like my computing to be in English) and because of locality I also added German to the voice recognition.
Sometimes Google thinks I'm speaking German when really I'm speaking English and vice versa (especially searching for English named products with a German phrase).
It can get really annoying sometimes. But I guess it's mostly my fault for falling out of the default modus operandi. :)

My wife uses speech input almost exclusively. She says that it is the most accurate way to text due to auto correct and simple typing errors that than need to be corrected or send a second corrected text.
She hates most technology and just likes her old and tried ways and it has shocked me how much she picked up voice search and texting.
