Every grandparent must look a bit weird to the grandchild. Take any year, subtract 40, 50 or 60 years and see what that generation were up to. Early baby boomers had grandparents who lived before cars and planes. Kids born in 1140 AD had grandparents who remember a time before the Crusade. They must've been like "A time when people didn't go out to the Holy Land and fight infidels? That's crazy talk grandpa!" Grandparents circa 440AD talking to their grandkids about the Roman Empire and how brilliant it was what with the taxes and the togas and everything. Some grandparents at some point "And that was before we had fire. We had to wait for the Great God Bo to reach down and let lightening strike a tree to get fire. Not now of course with you young 'uns. Now you can strike a fire whenever you want. Luxury!"
My grandma is obsessed with her Xbox. (She gave her PlayStation away to some kids whose house got burned down.) She plays Skyrim and a bunch of other games like that.
