Internet penetration in 2008 was shit comparatively.
That's true, but the Google trends ranking is relative to the time period. The higher share of searches it had at the time, the higher the score.
In most of the rich world internet connectivity was fairly complete by that point at most homes and workplaces. Just not the mobile internet. Yes smartphones existed, but very few people had them until well into the 2010s.
