      because they are old and we know it is unlikely they will change for the better when they are assholes, and because we are so used to old people being a least low key bigots, that our heart melts when one of them is actually wholesome and nice.

    My grandpa was born in 1907 and died in 2010. Growing up with him around was like having the whole XX century in our living room. He remembered the front page of the newspaper when the Titanic sunk, he was born in a world that barely had electricity in the big cities (certainly not in the countryside where he lived as a child), and lived long enough to see The Internet. I'll never forget the first time he asked me to write an email for him because he couldn't figure it out how to do it on his own. And after I sent it he went: "So, I heard this is pretty fast, how long would it take do you reckon, a couple of days?". I cannot describe to you the face he made when I told him the email was already received. Then he proceeded to spend the whole day telling absolutely EVERYONE he knew about this new mind-blowing sorcery. 🤣🤣🤣

    I once asked my grandmother about why she and alot of other older people like her tend to misuse emotional reaction images and emojis, and what she explained was rather interesting:
    It typically comes down to two things: a genuine mistake/misunderstanding on what the image is depicting, and/or them deciding the image is 'close enough' to what they want.
    31:52 is a good example of the latter. People of older generations are more likely to overlook or disregard emotional meanings those of a younger generation have grown to attribute to them. So while people under ~35 might look at that image and identify it as "shouting happily into a megaphone, perhaps in celebration or excitement" and use it in that context, someone older could look at it, and see it's parts: the person shouting, the megaphone, and the smile. Because the whole of the image wouldn't fit their purpose, the simply decide that it's *close enough* and decide the smile, the part younger people largely use to determine it's emotional meaning, is irrelevant and ignorable. Thus the image to them becomes the a person shouting into a megaphone, which, combined with text, was likely intended to be taken as a "hey this is important, you have to know about this, listen to me" sort of meaning. They don't realize that the the image is meant to be taken as a whole, in it's entirety, and that image itself has a meaning intrinsic to it, or can in fact be used 'wrongly'.
    In other words: older generations treat emotional images and emojis more like pictures, while younger generations use them more like a language.
    The concept that an emotional image can be 'misread' is a very difficult thing for older people to grasp, because they didn't grow up learning how like people tend to be doing today. They're having trouble 'speaking' and 'reading' the language.
    It's actually really fascinating, how differently both perspectives see them.

      @@dmgroberts5471 TLDR/ humans are just like that. I find this super fascinating cause there have actually been studies that show humans learn in a very particular way distinct from even our closest ape relatives. While apes can learn by repetition, apes will not repeat actions that are obviously unnecessary to the goal. Humans on the other hand will repeat what their teacher is doing exactly, even if they cannot explain why they do certain parts, or of in fact a part of what the teacher is doing is obviously superfluous. The researchers suppose that this is because once we acquire theory of mind (the concept that people have separate consciousness from our own with their own viewpoint, ect.) that even if we don’t see the point, if we’re being taught to do it the teacher probably knows better. So grandma is just trusting if you told her to do it, it’s probably right, even if there’s no logical way to explain how the heck that would work.

    Laughed so hard because it's my life every day. My mother (78) some how managed to flip her entire screen upside down and called me telling that the internet was upside-down because apparently her laptop is the internet now. Took me ages to fix it and still can't work out how she managed to do it. Love my mum to bits, she's adorable but a nightmare at times lol.
    Dad wanted to take the photos from his phone to his PC so I set up a cloud for him, ever tried to explain what a cloud is to a 79 year old? Not to be advised, they won't retain the information anyway. It's like banging your head on brick wall but having to do it with a smile on your face.

      Older people and computers is endlessly amusing and cute to me (even when they call their friend a bitch on fb lol).
      In the 90s, when my dad was in his early 50s his work started to computerise everything. He'd never used a computer before in his life, he was ex army and a blue collar worker. They sent him on a course to learn the most basic things like how to turn on the computer, what is a mouse & how to use one, etc. He legit got a certificate to say "Joe is no longer afraid of computers". He was equal parts amused to all hell by it and incredibly proud of it.
      When he retired due to disability I bought him a computer which he used solely for playing solitaire and submitting his prescription medication requests. It used to boggle my mind that a £350 computer was being used just for that, but he was so happy that I couldn't bring myself to mind (we found it pretty funny to be honest), he was in a lot of pain from his disability that anything that gave him a distraction was great in my book, and that PC lasted him like 10 years or so. One of my last memories was of sitting with him while putting all his prescription medications requests into the form on a new computer that I had bought him for Christmas when his started dying, we laughed so hard and it took ages because he was on so many meds. He had almost finished the list then accidentally hit refresh & had to start over. Instead of getting angry and frustrated he just gave a little sigh, we laughed and started again. He sadly passed away just a couple weeks later, but it's a silly little memory that has stuck with me for 8 years now
      As silly as it sounds, my one regret was that he didn't learn to text or use social media so I don't have any silly or funny messages between us like we get to see on these, because he was very self aware and knew he would only do something ridiculous on fb. My mum on the other hand cares little about things like that and would happily be one of those people posting a status of her trying to Google Christmas gifts or something. And she does indeed often send me messages on messenger and then reply to herself or send herself a thumbs up. 🤣 💜
