My dad who's in his 60's got a laptop for his birthday and actually got mad because he didn't know how to do certain stuff. He said, "if I don't know how to do it, it means I'm stupid. So I don't want it." (I'm paraphrasing) I told him that he didn't grow up with this technology. Hell I don't even know what to do sometimes on simple stuff. Don't feel bad that you don't know how to do something, you just haven't learned it yet.

My mom loaded up our last computer with viruses because she didn't have any anti-virus software and clicked on shady ads and links like they were candy. At one point something about Obama and the NSA popped up and she was so scared that she was being spied on that she took the tower and monitor outside and set it on fire.
Not saying parents are stupid, I just figured I'd share how my mother in particular is batshit insane.
The only issue I have is that my mom tells me when I try to teach her "Oh I'm not gonna remember this. I'll just make you do it next time." So even if I take the time out of my day to try to help her she doesn't choose to remember it so I have to continue to do it over and over for her.
