Problems with computers and technology.
I am old enough to be these kids' mother, but I do know how to operate a cell phone.

There are a bunch of articles with these examples.

My professor, a doctor of mathematics, accidentally turned on the projectors while looking for the light switch. After five minutes of trying to turn them back off, he gave up and spent an hour writing three dimensional partial derivatives on top of a screen saver.

My dad is convinced that our GPS only works when we point it in the direction that our car is moving.

My mom told me that telemarketers keep calling her cell phone then hanging up at exactly 4:30 pm every day. At 4:29 she gave me her phone and said, "Watch..."As the time went to 4:30 the phone did ring, but it was her alarm going off.

My mom wanted to look up Oprah interview so I told her to go to youtube. She calls me back and says she can't find any videos. In the background I can hear "Vertigo" by U2 playing. She spent 20 minutes on U2.com looking for Oprah videos.

My mom always scrolls back to the top of every website after reading it so it is "tidied up for the next person to watch."

1. I've had a cell phone for months and I still don't know what the Hell it does.
My ex-wife had to tell me I could actually text with it. :crazy:

2. As someone who is basically A+ certified and very proficient with computers...
