    Your parents' File Sharing.
    My girlfriend's mom recently set up her voice mail, but when she was asked by the automated system to state her name, she left a full greeting. So now if you tried to leave her a voice mail you would hear, "Hello, you have reached 'Hi this is Hillary, I'm not available right now, but leave a message and I'll call you back.' leave a message after the tone."

    I just walked into my mom's office as she tried to drag a picture from her desktop onto her facebook page. I asked her what she was doing and she replied, "I want to change my profile picture."

    Your parents' artificial intelligence.
    My house phone's answering machine has the default voice saying that I am not available right now and to leave a message after the tone. Instead of leaving a message, my grandmother keeps calling over and over for hours until I answer, because she "doesn't want the creepy man to know what she has to say."

    My mom, who is no stranger to checking emails, having accounts and the like decided to get a Facebook. When prompted to created a password she thought she had to fill the entire box, resulting in a complex 40+ character password that she forgot.

    My dad has a bunch of photos he wants printed professionally. He doesn't know how to transfer them to a memory stick so I said I'd do it. He gave me a headphone jack two way splitter to put the images on.
