Technology has progressed incredibly fast in the past few decades.
And some people need a little time to catch up.
Especially the older folk. Sometimes they donโt always get technology or new things quite right. Hard as they may try. And bless their hearts, the results are absolutely adorable.
Here are 40 times older people didnโt do things quite right:
1. The Neck Massager
Grandpa bought a โneck massager.โ He thinks itโs โinterestingโ that this โneck massagerโ is a waterproof model. I hope no one told him what it really is.
2. Us Now
Grandson wanted to take a photo of him and his grandma. He activated the front-facing camera and snapped it. โWhen is that from?โ she asked. He had to explain that the photo was of โus right now.โ
3. Team Work
They say teamwork makes the dream work. Thatโs how Nancy Sinatra helped Cher fix her screen. She accidentally had it in night mode.
4. Sex Party
His mom went to a sex party. Kindaโฆ but, not really. At least not the kind that youโre thinking of.
5. Facebook Marketplace
This gentleman was selling this guitar on Facebook Marketplace. He must be new to it because he didnโt seem to notice his own reflection in the guitar. The best is his tiny face.
6. Grandma vs. The Mixer
This is definitely a classic fail. And the look on her face says it all. Mixer, 1, grandma, 0.
7. Grandma Sets the Table
I think grandma was going for turkey napkins when she set the table. They donโt look like turkeys. But donโt tell grandma that.
8. Grandpaโs Tie
Grandpa got this tie for free in the 90s. Itโs his โfestiveโ tie. The one that he wears to every Passover seder.
9. iPad Cutting Board
Grandma busted out the good old cutting board to cut up this delicious-looking pastry. Just kidding. Thatโs an iPad.
10. Back Up
Dad couldnโt see well on his iPad, so he needed to call for backup. His brother came to the rescue. With a flashlightโฆ to brighten up the iPad screen.
11. Squishy Animal
Thatโs not an animal sweetie. Thatโsโฆ well. Go ask your mom.
12. Grandpaโs Passport
Grandpa ended up pressing the wrong button while trying to take his passport photos. He does not look too happy about it. The third look is my favorite look.
13. Waiting
Where are you? Noโฆ where are you? Iโm at the tree! No, Iโm at the tree!
14. Thumbs Up
Grandma learned how to use Facebook Messenger. Well, sort of. Sheโs learning.

15. Kindle Bookmark
Dad is getting really good use out of his Kindle. Heโs just not using it according to the directions. He actually found a new use for it.
16. Happy Birthday
Grandma made her grandson Clint a birthday cake. But the โLโ and โIโ ended up really close to each other. So, the name looks like it says something else.
17. IBM Compatible
I wonder what year this book is from. I wonder if youโd even be able to find these parts now. It was the thought that counts.

18. Bob the Flat White
This is Bob. Heโs a Flat White. And I am going to drink him now.
19. Itโs Me, Mom
This was momโs first message to her child after joining Facebook. Itโs pretty mom. And such a mom message.
20. Hanging a Cross
Grandma thought this was a cross. But thatโs a toy sword. Her grandson didnโt have the heart to tell her.
21. Uber Planner
Grandma bought this for her grandson who is an Uber driver. She thought it would be good to keep track of his appointments. Sheโฆ isโฆ pure.
22. Shark Blanket
Grandma made it for him. Itโs a shark blanket. Is that a fin or are you just happy to see me?
23. Unsubscribing
Grandpa has decided he wants to unsubscribe from Facebook. So, heโs sending them a letter. It needs to reach department 15.
24. Grandmaโs Garden
This is grandmaโs favorite mask. Sheโs an avid gardener. Whatโs she growing in that garden?
25. What Am I Doing?
Grandma was trying the microphone. She was off to a great start. But thenโฆ

26. The Trail Mix
Grandpa asked why this trail mix was so gross. To be fair, the โFiesta Maxโ and festive fonts seem like human food. Also, it does look like trail mix. But those hamsters should have been a dead giveaway.
27. Fish Eye Lens
Thatโs not a chip clip. Thatโs a fish eye camera lens. It went missing weeks ago until he realized mom was using it as a chip clip.
28. NO!
This is actually pretty smart. He set up momโs TV and set up the remote so that she canโt mess anything up. Itโs a good idea when youโve got multiple remotes.
29. Jesus Statue
Grandma is very fond of her โJesusโ statue. Except that isnโt Jesus. Itโs a Jedi.
30. Great Video
The grandsonโs laugh is just priceless. She has no idea sheโs filming her neck. Itโs gonna be a great video.

31. The Vase
Mom came over and brought some flowers. She found the perfect vase for it. Sort ofโฆ
32. Print Out
Her 97-year-old grandfather is on Facebook. He loves this picture of them that she posted on Facebook. So, he printed it out so he could display it in his house.
33. Decorative Fan
Grandma brought this back from Florence. It was a gift for her 5-year-old granddaughter. She wanted to take it to show and tell.
34. Recipes
Grandma was pretty tech-savvy. She saved all her recipes on a floppy disk. Now sheโs passing those recipes on to her grandchildren.
35. Why?
Grandma must have had an existential crisis on Facebook. She had a lot of questions. We wonder the same thing, grandma.
36. Free Computers
Grandpa invited them over for some free computers. He keeps getting them for donating. The garage is full of them.
37. The Wrong Emoji
Here we have two older people texting. They are BOTH using the wrong emoji. They were looking for the crying one, not the laughing one.
38. Recipes
Mom likes to print out her recipes. She photocopies them off of her iPad. I wonder if that photocopier has a printer. I bet it does.
39. Blurb
Mom saw something in the newspaper about an app she wanted to remember. But she didnโt take a picture of it. She cut it out and taped it to her phone.
40. Progโs birthday
Itโs Progโs birthday. Times 5. I wonder how many 73-year-old Progs will be celebrating their birthday next year.
