It's not just tech. The fake news is everywhere. Tried to get my dad off Facebook for years cause of it. Finally had an intervention and showed how to check sources. Took a weekend, but worth it for my sanity.

Every generation has its defining struggles. This too shall pass. That said, maybe consider setting up their devices with simplified interfaces? And turn on automatic updates so they aren't constantly clicking 'Remind me later' on those essential security updates.

You gotta understand technology was WAY different back in their day. The mere fact we went from party-line telephones to smartphones in one generation is wild. Not excusing the fake news sharing, though. That stuff can have real consequences. I've been working on debunking stuff with my folks one by one.

Haha, it can be super frustrating, I know. But hey, they had to teach us how to use a spoon at some point, right? We just gotta pay it forward. Lots of them are trying their best. Finding simple guides and videos might help take the load off your back too!

lmao, they probably think double clicking makes the computer go faster!! Next they'll be blowing into the WiFi router to 'clean the dust out for better connection' 😂

SERIOUSLY! It's like double-clicking is embedded in their muscle memory or something. And backward scrolling? Don't get me started. I've just stopped trying to explain touch screens lol.

I feel your pain. But remember, the tech landscape changes so fast, it can be hard to keep up if you didn't grow up with it a mouse in your hand. Patience is key cuz they'll need to learn at their own pace. And for the fake news, I set up a family 'No Fake News' pact, works like a charm.
