50 Times Old People Used Social Media And Provided The Internet With These Gems
The internet is a confusing place. While we "tech-savvy kids" can’t imagine our lives without it, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the constant changes online. And when it comes to people from the older generation, no wonder they feel a little out of their element when posting online. Except, of course, in instances when your grandma and grandpa simply must find the perfect rose-filled picture to wish you a happy birthday.
But hey, seniors try their best, and we love them for that! Especially when their efforts result in adorable situations when they get tripped up by text lingo, confuse a Google search with a Facebook post, and type out hilarious comments that leave us scratching our heads… and completely in stitches.
In fact, there’s something so wholesome about elderly people navigating the complex universe of the digital world that an entire Twitter account called 'Old People Online' is dedicated to their pearls of wisdom. Or, as the creators of the page describe, it's just "old people doing old people things on the internet." Below, we wrapped up some funny and charming examples from the page for you to enjoy. So continue scrolling to check them out, and don't miss the chat we had about seniors and modern tech with Deborah S. Bowen, Ph.D.

I too, would have voted on this. I'd go for "Trying to sell dining room set" to help the underdog.

There is so much potential humor in this post yet the thing that really gets me is the response from Target 😂

Apart from the obvious irony, there is also the irony of "Be Kind" being on a photo of weaponry!

That's unfortunate (unless that's Grandma's sneaky way of removing the middle two people from the picture)

I hope so! Although it was a gelatinous glob of who knows what, designed specifically to ruin my health... It tasted good!

Oboma: she’s a classical musician like her brother Yo-yo. Only, she plays the oboe.

At 40, I didn't think I was that old, but a 25 y/o guy has started at my wife's office, and they've had to teach him how to write emails properly.

When he figures it out, they should give him a participation trophy.
