For generations who grew up without the internet and smartphones, it can seem impossible to master even basic tech skills. So some people simply choose not to! Below, you’ll find photos of some of the funniest technological fails people have shared of their parents around the web. From using their devices in creative ways to completely misunderstanding the purpose of certain technology, enjoy scrolling through these funny pics, and be sure to upvote the ones that remind you of your own parents! The internet has also been around for quite a while at this point, as many people consider its “birthday” to be January 1, 1983. Back then, however, it was obviously very different than how it is today. We didn’t get Google until 1998, YouTube until 2005, and the idea of spending hours and hours online each day was absurd a few decades ago. But today, the average person spends nearly 7 hours a day on the internet. It’s easy to laugh at our elders when they use electronics in questionable ways and don’t understand how to accomplish simple tasks like taking screenshots and printing out recipes. But in only a few decades, we might be just as technologically illiterate. So it’s best to be patient and understanding with our parents and grandparents and try to slowly teach them how to use technology to make their lives easier. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
