40 Times Grandparents Used Social Media And Created Comedy Gold
Technology updates every week. The older generation did not sign up for that. From mysterious pop-ups that “won’t go away” to screenshots taken of actual screenshots, there is something strangely wholesome about watching parents and grandparents bravely step into the digital arena. They click with confidence. They type in all caps. They absolutely refuse to admit the Wi-Fi might not be “broken.”
This collection captures the older generation taking on modern tech with determination, confusion, and accidental comedy. The results are chaotic, endearing, and proof that no matter how advanced our devices get, human error will always keep things interesting.
