Senior citizens and technology --- a combination that most of the time has allowed senior citizens to live the period of being an elderly person in a new way that is more connected to the world and full of new discoveries.
It is not difficult to see older people now with a smartphone of the latest generation in their pocket or hear them speak very fluently about social networks, posting, Whatsapp messages, blue checkmarks, and video calls.
However, they will always be rooted in an "analogical" or manual context which prevents them from fully integrating with technology and there is nothing wrong with this. Especially, because by being this way senior citizens provide moments of fun to those who, on the other hand, have grown with technology.
In fact, here are some hilarious gaffes that older people have made while using modern technology.
