Me vs. My Mom

So I was doing the crossword a few days ago, and came across the clue: "——— wide net."
Easy, I think. "World." Duh. The internets, right?

After a few minutes, it becomes clear to me that this is not right, so I yell to my mom, "What is 'blank wide net'?" And in no seconds flat, she responds with "Cast a!"

..."Cast a wide net?" I...didn't even know that was a phrase...Internets?

I think it's clear which generation the crossword writers belong to.
