25 Times Old People Tried Their Best With Technology

Texting and social media aren't very intuitive for people who grew up in a time when it was considered safe to breath in leaded gas fumes. But they're trying their best to use the internet to follow their interests and keep up with their families. And we should definitely give them credit for trying. We should also point and laugh when they mistake their personal Facebook profile for a search bar and end up posting the phrase "naked beautiful women" over and over again to their wall. That's simply poetry.

Laugh now, but when Gertrude Wilkerson is 40 years dead and now you're struggling to figure out how to use your brain chip to sign onto the mega-net without posting memories of your own genitals, maybe you'll remember this. You probably won't, but at least this block of text will be here having said "I told you so."

Here are some more times old people struggled to master social media.
