No.

my mother owns an ipad, she mostly uses it to read the news, play candy crush or watch netflix

My dad is 62 years and he's somewhat fine using the internet, mostly spends his time on the internet talking to nigerian and filipina ladies.

He has caught quite some virusses and weird phone subscriptions over time, but nothing major to be fair.

He's only been using them since 1975.

My mother need help using the tv

Got the papi his first smartphone this year, he turned 71. Put on a custom homescreen with limited access and only a few apps so he won't have too much shit he doesn't even know what to do with.
Took him a while to figure it out but he's pro at sharing dumb old people memes over whatsapp by now.
Still doesn't really know how to use the phone itself but at least he got that down and is having a blast with it and his "young people are always on the phone" whining got a lot quieter ever since hehe. Boy's an addict!!!

what sense does that make

My dad's 60 but he was an early adopter so he's actually pretty good at computer.

In the 90s, 60-years old teacher showed me how to be advanced PC user and even hack. He knew computer and net architecture very well, I'm still dumb as fuck depite being IT spec

Dad is 54, knows how to use pcs but thibks he's IT pro and every year he breaks the shut out of the pc config

My mom, also 54, doesn't even know where the start button is, she somehow can use a smarthphone

>Grandma needs help moving photos on her laptop and doesn’t know how to access the USB drive and copy the photos into a new folder
>Show her how to copy them
>she amazed, can’t believe i did that so effortlessly
>”Wow user, you’re really smart with computers!”

7th grade me visiting dad (57 now) offices, he taught me some good grapik games i never played before (pic related)
But it was hard for me because of weird mouse aim control, so he taught me with his seemingly experienced aiming.
And that was my first fps experience. Yes my dad was played fps before me.

From what I saw here now all people under 65 use internet. They understood this would be stupid to live without it and they can do the basic stuff. The oldest who have only tv are doomed but they don't know.

We will be a generation of retired gamers and porn viewers if we live old.

Both parents ~60yo and Microsoft Word -tier users of the 90s. Bad at managing files or understanding the meaning of backup. Both hate Linux.

my dad is a boomer and he constantly torrents, he also edits together family photos in Photoshop to make it look like we're on a fighter plane or the moon and stuff, it's really charming

last month he gave me a USB with every classic western on it because I mentioned I wanted to watch Fistful of Dollars

>dad had cellphone for at least 10 years now
>never learned how to write, or even read SMS

my dad is 68 and never owned a phone in his life. when he retired a few years ago his business was still using typewriters and fax machines. once when i was a kid i made him play CS 1.6 and he had no idea what he was doing but somehow headshotted 3 people clicking randomly

>last month he gave me a USB with every classic western on it because I mentioned I wanted to watch Fistful of Dollars
Wow, that's sweet.

>dumb old people memes

Why do old people not understand that nobody gives a fuck what you saw on Facebook or what someone said it's not real life nobody cares

idk but those memes seem to transcend language, race and culture.
they're the same in every country

No

My mother doesn't even how to create a folder on the desktop, I explained her, but she forgot. I have the impression, she does it on purpose to forget.

Haha I was under the same impression as well. They just dont care about it at all and they tend to forget these kind of things pretty easily

my parents are just learning about memes

i gave ur mother something she'll NEVER forget jean jacques

they can't

My dad is only 43 but can't use a PC and has a old nokia as a phone

My 54 yo dad got me interested in tech and taught me most of the pc basics when I was a little kid and he definitely still knows some things much better than me like microsoft excel since he uses it at work a lot. He actually spends most of the time at his desktop working or playing world of war planes like a damm boomer.
My 50 yo mom also does all her work on pc and is skilled with adobe illustrator but not much else.

Imagine them sharing pro-Trump stuff on Facebook

I found porn in my dad's phone. He's 53 this year....

I have mixed feelings about this..
