Parents Trying To Figure Out Technology Is A Real Riot
Much like death and taxes, parents having a hard time with technology is inevitable. Yes, some might know what they're doing, but a significant portion of them are utterly clueless.
Try to hold in your laughter after looking at these parents' struggle with tech.
To Block The Notifications
Someone's dad didn't want to see the notifications on their iPhone anymore, so they came up with a genius plan.
Putting a sticker there was their best idea. Sure, they could've checked the settings, but that's too much for them.
Charging A Different Way
Wow, I didn't know you could charge your laptop through that plug. Have I been doing it wrong this whole time?
Thankfully, the mom who did this learned a lesson from their child.
Who Is This?
This is what happens when texting goes wrong. I'm not going to lie; she had me fooled in the first half.
Then, it all came crashing down with one simple question: "Who is this?"
She Charged Her Phone In The Pan Because She Heard They Blow Up
Someone's mom ended up charging their phone in a cooking pan because they heard they blow up.
I guess that's a good strategy, but she might be taking things a little too far.
When The Backlighting Goes Out
The keyboard backlighting went out on this dad's laptop, so he used white-out to "fix it."
Well, it doesn't look that bad, but it for sure isn't the prettiest sight to see when typing.
Sending Photos From Other Phones
Is this how your dad sends photos from other phones? If so, you need to stop him right away.
This is embarrassing and funny at the same time. When will they learn?
He Doesn't Know How To Turn Off The Filter
Here's a father that doesn't know how to turn off the heart filter on his phone. Whenever he sends photos, they come out like this.
All he wanted to do was send a photo of his new stove to his daughter.
Ads On The Lockscreen?
I never even knew this was possible, but someone's mom managed to make it happen. I mean, this is awful.
No one wants to deal with ads in the first place, so seeing them as soon as you unlock your phone is terrible.
How Granny Printed Photos
Clearly, this grandma doesn't know that you can get the pictures without all the nonsense in the background.
At least she tried! Teaching her how to avoid this must've been hard.
When You Don't Have A Clip
Sure, you can use a pin to keep the ethernet plug in place when you don't have a clip.
Someone's aunt complained this was going on, but now she'll wonder why her internet is so slow.
Doesn't Know How To Screen Record
I'll admit, the screen record feature is pretty new, so I don't expect every older person to know how to use it.
That doesn't make this any less funny. This man had a whole setup to capture whatever it is on his screen.
Upside Down Selfies
You're not completely clueless until you send selfies of the family upside down without even thinking about it.
The only one that looks like they know something is wrong is the little dog.
Thinking She'd Get A Better Connection
A mother placed her PC higher up thinking it would bring her a better connection. I'm sorry, but I wish it worked that way.
You would see every gamer in the world have their computers taped to the roof if this were the case.
Complaints Of Her Charger Not Working All The Time
I wonder what could be making this mother's charger not work all the time. It looks like it's clearly plugged into the device.
Ah, it must not be in all the way. It can't be the frayed wires because the tape fixed that.
The Computer Is Running Slow
If your parent comes complaining to you about their computer running slowly, check their homepage.
If it has this many toolbars, break it to them calmly. They don't know any better.
This Dad Can't Text On His Flip Phone
It is pretty hard texting on a flip phone, but it isn't impossible. This dad decided to take a shortcut.
I hope he has unlimited data because sending photos on an old phone takes up a lot of data.
Front Facing Mirror-Selfies
At least she's trying. Some grandparents don't know how to open their camera app! All she has to do is turn around her phone.
She gets points for trying, but it still doesn't keep her safe from this list.
"Friend's Grandma Just Asked Whose Phone This Is"
What world does this grandma live in where phones have this many buttons? That was probably a funny and annoying question.
Younger people don't necessarily like when you ask them about obvious things.
Finger In The Way
I'm amazed at how many times this mother messed up the pictures she sent to her daughter.
It looks like she just kept sending the same photo, not trying to fix the issue.
She Said She Needed To Remember Her Friend's Number
If only there was a way to save numbers in your phone without having to tape a piece of paper to the back.
I don't know, am I reading too much into this or should everyone know how to save contacts?
