Old People and Technology: In Which Our Dad One-Ups Us

Posted by Emily Farris

Yesterday we sent our dad this instructional video (just the YouTube link, as he doesn't read Scanner) with the subject line "Here, Dad." It was clearly a joke as our dad is a computer programmer with two iPod Nanos—one for his music and one for his podcasts. Then he sent this one back. Which has had us laughing all day. Seriously, we can't stop watching it. Mostly because we want to adopt the little old lady in it.

Say What? No More Rabbit Ears?

But What Will I Tell My Dad?

And They Said It Wouldn't Last
