'Am I still in your phone as "Cool Grandpa"?': 20+ Grandparents on a wholesome quest to use the internet and text their grandkids

Grandparents are the best. They'll do anything for their grandkids, like buying them way too many toys, cooking delicious meals for them, and being their favorite playmate. Many kids grow up having their grandparents as babysitters, which creates a strong bond between them. These grandparents want to keep in touch with their grandkids, even once the kids turn into teens. But fear not, they aren't afraid to utilize technology to connect with their family. 

Their methods may be a tad unorthodox, but you have to give them a ton of credit for trying and succeeding at texting or using the internet. For some, it comes naturally, while other older folks aren't nearly so savvy at using new tech. It's not easy to grow and change with the times, but these grandparents are proving they can and will. 

Check out all of these wonderful grandparents and their tries at using modern tech below. Once you've read that, check out these 15 pranksters who shared their best stories, like one person who pulled off a truly epic prank in Antarctic.
