A person's struggle is not something to be laughed at. But it's simply too hilarious and perhaps, pretty, to see elderly people fumble with technology. The first mobile phone was probably invented while our ancestors were in their 30s. If you're curious about the original mobile phone, it was a bulky device that could only make 30-minute audio calls before needing a 10-hour recharge. It's obvious that it's a long way from the internet-connected cellphones with all of today's apps.
Our main goal is to demonstrate how quickly technology has advanced over the past 50 years. Older people did not grow up with smartphones or laptops in hand, unlike us. One of the major obstacles for elderly people to overcome in order to stay up with the rapid advancement of technology is the large technological gap.
Older adults frequently struggle to utilize the newest smartphones and tablets because they aren't used to using the majority of smart devices. They tend to try to p things out on their own since they can be too proud to ask for assistance. And when we see them using these gadgets improperly, we can't help but chuckle inside and just pretend they're using them correctly to spare them from shame.
