Grandma's Hilarious Search History Proves That Old People Are Even Polite To Technology

#1 I took on a second job, was in the thesis year of my masters program,

and became a new dad all around the same time and as difficult as it was adapting to all of that craziness at once, it paled in comparison to teaching my father how to use a smartphone.

#2 He always loved the idea of using one and being this hip dude who's constantly texting and emailing people from his phone,

but first I had to show him how to power the thing on and make a phone call.

#8 He eventually got the hang of it despite months of random phone calls

and half-hour tutorial sessions and my heart swells with pride every time I see him use Google text-to-speech to send messages to his hunting buddies.

#4 But what a lot of people forget is that our cultural values also play a lot into how technology is developed and used,

so when someone from a completely different time period uses new gadgetry, the results are often hilarious.

#5 Like when Twitter user, Ben John, just had to snap a pic of his Grandma's google search history for the whole world to see.

Because she's so polite, his Nan wrote, ‘please translate these roman numerals mcmxcviii thank you'.

PLEASE AND THANK YOU, GOOGLE

#6 When he asked granny why she was so polite while searching for things on the internet, she simply responded that she thought it was 'the norm."

#7 Once people saw John's post, it blew up, and everyone was immediately obsessed with his grandma.

#9 But all of our smug entertainment for her polite ways made some question just how demanding we're becoming of technology.

He makes a hell of a point.
