We all want to make fun of mom for not understanding technology until we can’t figure out how to turn our new TV on and then it’s Big Tech’s fault. Okay, so maybe it’s just me and I’m not the most technology-savvy person either, I’ll admit it!
It’s not easy to keep up with all the new tech fads when honestly, you don’t really care about them. Parents seem to take the cake on who doesn’t understand tech the most and luckily, they have us to help them out.
People online love to share their parents struggle with technology and we love to laugh at it with them because hey, this is going to be us soon.
It’s so close I can almost taste it.
