69 Times Boomers Tried To Use Technology And Failed Miserably

Nowhere is aging more apparent than on the Internet. As a fellow person in their 30s, I can nowadays rarely be online without feeling unc. Luckily, I’m having an easier time than the older generations whose confusion with current technology and the newest trends makes netizens laugh regularly.

It’s 2025, but some grandmas and grandpas seem to still be mystified by how to use Facebook, how to order an Uber, and what an iPad is for. Bored Panda has compiled a list of the funniest and most wholesome examples of meemaws and peepaws struggling to navigate today’s world for your enjoyment. Yet, we ask you, Pandas, to keep the fun lighthearted – there will most likely come a day when you’ll be just as uncool and out of touch.

My grandma climbed onto my laptop and said: Come on, check my weight for me?
