Wholesome: Tech-Challenged Grandpa Reveals He Goes to Brick and Mortar Stores to Download Their Apps

It's absolutely mind-boggling to think of all the tech-related advancements that have occurred over the last, oh, fifty years. And while we do poke fun at the technical abilities (or lack thereof) of the geriatrics in our lives, we've really got to hand it to them: There's been a lot to keep up with. While my 93-year-old grandmother impresses me with her knowledge of how to email, the truth is that there are definitely elderly people who are both more and less technologically advanced than she is. Recently, Twitter user @heyyitsjanea took to the "bird app" to share an adorable story of her grandfather's endearing ineptitude in this area. 

It seems that her grandfather, for some reason, believed he had to visit brick-and-mortar stores if he wanted to download their corresponding apps. He'd ask the workers to help him in his quest, and apparently, none of them saw fit to inform him that he could accomplish this task from the comfort of his home.
