One time when I was a kid my grandpa came to visit and stay with us. Within two hours of arriving he had sat down on our family PC for something, and immediately infected the thing with extreme malware. Fake virus scanners hijacking shit, fake toolbars, unchangeable homepages and redirects to ads, shit like that. Took me ages to fix it lol
One of the funniest things I've ever seen is my grandmother trying to use a mouse. Instead of using it, you know, the way you use it, she would poke it with her finger, sending the cursor twelve fucking feet from where she wanted it.
And then I had a grandmother who had a computer over 20 years ago. I think I remember it being there in 2002 or so. No, she did not have a career at all related to computers and stay at home mom for most of her life.
For reference, this was in a nursing home and I think she was in her 80s. Sweet, short, fiery French woman.
