The greatest thing about technology is that it brings people together from all ages, even if the older generation is slow to catch up on all of our millenial internet lingo and etiquette.
But the second greatest thing is watching older people use technology. Honestly, it is so amusing to watch my grandparents discover what is to them a new world through their iPhones and computers. But other times, you really just have to laugh and what they text and post because it’s so brutally honest and innocent.
So here are our favorite old people technology fails. Perfectly placed typos and all.
