Even I, a member of Gen Z, or a digital native as they call it, who grew up with technology, feel like I’m falling behind in knowing about all the new apps, glitzy phones, computers, and who knows what else. So imagine the struggle of those who were raised on magazines, TV, and radio. They simply aren’t used to things advancing this quickly, so their attempts at technology are usually full of trial and error, which we sometimes can’t help but find hilarious.
This TikTok recently invited people to share many such instances, which we gathered in the list below for a little weekend pick-me-up. To find these stories, all you have to do is scroll down!

My grandma shared a pic of a random garden. Then she commented on that same post later saying “wow, you have a beautiful garden.” Then later she replied to her own comment and said “you should come see my garden one day.” A post 3 comments and an invitation and it was all her. Bless her sweet heart!
