We all love our grandparents, parents, and elderly relatives — they’ve taught us life lessons, shared timeless wisdom, and shown us patience like no other. But when the roles are reversed and we become their tech support, things tend to spiral into hilarious confusion. From calling Google “The Internet” to believing strong winds can “blow away Wi-Fi,” these stories show just how adorably chaotic that generational tech gap can be.

There’s the grandpa who proudly emailed his grandson warning not to buy a motorcycle with his $10 Christmas gift — via a platform he thought was called “Read It,” not Reddit. Or the uncle who rearranged every key on his keyboard into alphabetical order because “QWERTY” didn’t make sense. Some even turned monitors on with the power of hope alone — no button pressing required. One woman thought “Login” was a ghost user haunting her new PC!

Perhaps the best stories are those tiny moments that blend logic with sweet misunderstandings. A grandmother asked for thumbnail-sized photos to “fit more pictures in the folder,” while another removed the browser from her dock and believed she had “deleted the internet.” And let’s not forget the elderly woman who placed her mouse on the floor, trying to control the screen like a foot pedal from her Dictaphone days.

These stories don’t mock — they warm our hearts. They remind us that even in a fast-moving digital world, a little patience and laughter go a long way. And while technology might be baffling for older generations, their determination (and unintended hilarity) makes them the most lovable learners around.
