30+ Hilarious Screencaps Show How Catastrophic It Is When Old People Use Social Media

Carolyn Mullet

Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z are titles that different generations use to pick up each other when they don't speak with one voice. While Millennials and Gen Z are called spoiled, entitled, and lazy kids, Boomers are teased for their conservation and unawareness of high-tech. Indeed, the internet is the savior for every young boy and girl, but a sealed book to old-schooled people.
Not all people from the 50s', 60s', and before are blind to cyberspace and modern devices. On the one hand, they still can learn to use the internet quickly and fluently. On the other hand, some can cause catastrophes when they go online. Plus, when we say catastrophes, we mean rib-cracking, hilarious mistakes you should not miss if you like to have a good laugh.
That's right. You see grandma and grandpa surfing the web, you have better prepare! Old People Online, here they come!
