I sort don't use "Googling" either. Likely because I to remember when they would print Internet Yellow Pages of sorts. Not to mention I remember using tings like Yahoo and Altavista to do searches. 

As a side note, I'm not sure why people started to say "Interwebs". I always think it makes the person sound dumb. I know that most people think of websites as the Internet but there is still a whole lot more out there that's not part of a website.
