“Google it” means look it up on the Internet. My kids don’t use Chrome, they use Google (probably call it that because it’s the homepage of Chrome).
I’ve heard people say they’re going to uber home. They sometimes use Lyft.
And I’ve definitely heard people say they were on a zoom call even when it was Microsoft Teams or Google …what is the Google one called again? I don’t remember anymore because people will say Google zoom call!!
I don’t know that I agree with that. Before my generation (X) the computer geeks had to flip dip switches to set IRQs. Before that there were punch cards. Before that there were vacuum tubes that needed to be replaced.
We’ve only really ever done what was needed to get our shit working with as little effort as possible. I’ve never used punch cards or changed vacuum tubes.

Citing a comment I’ve recently seen, it’s amazing how humanity managed to produce only one generation actually competent with computers.

A google zoom. (actually its meet)
Interesting! Didn’t know they’d become generic terms like that.
TBF it’s Google Chrome and it’s owned by Google.
That’s like complaining that someone who drives a Jeep Wrangler calls it a Jeep
Jeep shouldn’t be on this list either, it’s still brand specific
