13 Posts About Moms Who Have Struggled To Get A Hang Of This Whole Technology Thing

If there is one sentence that my mother says frequently to me it is, “well, you were born into this technology, I had to learn it. Back in my day…” Usually, it is said after she pressed the wrong button on the television and she lost Netflix.

Mothers and technology are not always the best combination. Bless their souls, they try their hardest but the amount of inappropriate emojis they manage to use in awkward tests is, well, kind of impressive. The fact that they manage to text at all, after having countless lessons is a miracle, too.

If your mother is a little slow on the tech, check out these hilarious posts to realise you’re not alone!
