Your parents' iPhone.

I bought a couple tickets on Ebay for a pre-season NFL game. They were E-tickets, so when I paid for them the "new at this" guy emailed me tickets to the wrong game. He then promptly noticed his mistake and e-mailed me frantically, asking me to please send that file back to him so he could send it to the correct person. I did.

My mother bought a Mp3 player and she asked me to put songs on it. I asked her what type of songs she wanted. She said the internet would know.

Last year, my dad accidentally grabbed my phone instead of his before he left for work. After school, I got the phone back from him and I realized that even though he has become familiar with cell phones, he has never encountered T-9, considering my phone had the following four text message drafts: "Thigh", "Thighigh", "Thighighighig", "Thighighighighigh" At dinner, he apologetically confessed to me that my phone is broken and he thinks he did it.

I had set up a wireless network for my parents and when I was finished, my dad then took the internet cord and plugged it back in the computer. I told him that the cord had to be into the wireless router and he then said he didn't want to use the wireless network right now and just wanted to get back on the internet.

Last week, I texted my dad to ask him a question. Two days later, I got his reply, "Yes", five times.

Your parents' Mortal Kombat.

My mother was having trouble trying to get a slide show on a DVD. For several minutes she kept taking the disk out, looking at it, and then putting it back in the computer. Finally she looked over at me and said, "It's not burning. The disk is still shiny."

My school sent out an email to let everyone know that the internet was down....

Do your parents not understand technology? Do they ask you stupid questions? Do they send you absurd text messages?Do they use words like "MyFace," "SpaceBook," or "The World Wide Web?"

Your parents' Zelda.

I sent my Dad a text the other day and he called me about 20 minutes later and left me a voicemail saying, "Dan, I got your message on my phone but when I checked my voicemail I couldn't hear anything." Turns out he saw that he had a message, clicked "open," then put it to his ear while the text displayed on the screen.

I was recently talking to my mom over the phone about how my girlfriend and I might go see Burn After Reading. I told her I checked the internet and it got pretty good reviews and she responded, "The internet around here gave it good reviews too!"

Your parents' Spore.

I found my mom using two different laptops simultaneously. I asked her what she was doing and she said that this was the only way she could go to two different websites at the same time.

My mother uses her cell phone like a walkie-talkie. She'll put the phone to her mouth to talk and then back to her ear to listen. Many times she's scolded me for starting my response before she had time to put the phone back to her ear.

My mom leaves her laptop charger plugged into the laptop even when it's not plugged into the wall because "there is juice (power) left in the chord."

My dad needed directions to the place I work, so to make it easy for him I linked the Google maps directions I looked up and pasted it into an email. He responded a few hours later that the link was too long to type into the address box.

My mom's friend calls it a cell-o-phone.

Your parents' Michael Phelps.

I used my parents laptop the other day and closed the lid once I was finished. This was apparently the first time anyone had closed the laptop because I got a phone call from my mom an hour later at work asking me "to not mess with the home computer and to put the screen back on when I got done with work."

My grandpa got a magic 8-ball during a gift swapping game at a familyChristmas party. We told him to ask it a question, and he held it up tohis mouth and asked "Where's Beijing?"

When I was younger, my mom would tell me every night to get off the computer because "bad people go on the internet at night."
