The good people at Honor reached out to sponsor a piece featuring their new Honor 6X smartphone
So they send it over and sitting there bored at a family function putting the gears to the phone's dual lens camera chiron
665 Octa-Core cpu 4gb of Ram and 3340 milliamp hour battery
And on my in-laws house right and an argument breaks out at the Scrabble table and meanwhile. I'm kind of sitting there going
Why don't you just google it, but it's not all bad
Thanks to my entire evening of eye rolling face palming and full-body cringing
We all get to experience this
Fantastic video eight of the worst ways the Older Generation makes my head explode
brought to you by the honor 6x

(LTT theme music)
number one my Dad seems
completely unable to wrap his head around the fact that
Making phone calls ain't what it used to be?
He still it is 2017. He still tries to crank call me quit
Coleman like I'll answer my phone and he'll start pretending to order of Pizza or
I'll call him and he'll answer with some goofy accent trying to convince me that I got the wrong number dude
I know, it's you. I've had caller
Id on my phone since I was in high school, and I know I didn't miss dial your number
nobody dials numbers anymore remember - I
Needed to get to my grandma's new place, so I even proactively like I'm ready for this I
Proactively structure the question like so hey
Can you give me your new address grand and to my dismay she like every other old person on the planet?
proceeds to launch into this
elaborate play-By-play of the route
Don't go past the giant tiger then left at the spoon shaped Rock
And you'll see this really friendly young man water in the grass well, well, that's chester
The Neighbor's son in Locksley, and he works at the co-Op. Okay. This is not a quest grandma
I'm not retaining any of this. I'm not listening please for the love of all that is good. Tell me the address
So I can open my maps app and key it in
number three thanks to simple interfaces like honors emotion Ui
Smartphones are getting easier and easier to use
But just because an older person learns to use
The internet doesn't mean they really
Get how to internet and we've all suffered the consequences of this one
So here's a few etiquette tips if I don't copy paste your status update you posted
It doesn't mean I'm not your true friends
That funny chain letter well if the memes have ebaum's world
Watermarks, they're probably a little dated and
Auntie
thank you so much for the urgent cybersecurity advisory telling me to beware of people calling and
Pretending they work for Microsoft. I know your hearts in the right place, but please
Just oh, please
number four
Why is it that every time I go somewhere with my dad?
He's always trying to get me to memorize what section of the parking garage Rin
So that we don't lose the car okay? What's the color orange?
Okay, what's the number a shoot? I forget let's go back look. I'm way ahead of your dad. Just take a picture and move on
It doesn't consume film anymore, and we don't have to wait for it to get developed
number five you
convinced your mother-in-law to get a cell phone, but she refuses to get
Cellular Data because it's expensive and Lisa needs braces
Well, you know what I have to say that but data plan it's like $10 a month
less on pink
And you know what else is expensive getting lost?
Two blocks from your grandson's birthday party and spending 15 minutes on the phone with me
Trying to figure out where the heck you are which way is West?
And which auto record to drive towards to get back on the right path you?
Aren't even supposed to be on the phone when you're driving
number 6
My Dad knows how to text me he even sent this in messages and pictures over hangouts
But he doesn't seem to grasp the added utility that leave modern mediums
Have over snail mail
So every three to five days he sends me an epic wall of text with where he's staying
The recent weather best wishes for the kids and then he signs his name at the bottom and I'm like
pops
It's instant
Messaging I can replied it right away, you can reply right away, and we can have a conversation
Do your relatives ever send you snail mail, and then text you to tell you to expect it, and why did you?
Number Seven my Auntie still brings her digital point-And-shoot
That runs on Double-a batteries to family functions even though the camera on her phone is way better
Way easier to use and easy to share pictures with it
Just seems like it's hard for some older people to internalize just how many single-use devices
Modern phones have replaced
I mean, what's next a calculator at the restaurant to split the bill damn it verne there is an app for that and
finally number eight right next to the Landline phone at my
Grandparents house it's a wall power adapter for the cell phone
That lives in the wall with the phone next to it plugged in
100% of the time when they're at home sometimes I even see them scan their while
They're talking on it
Do you realize that Modern phones?
Like this one can last for like two days before they die
Why not, just plug it in when you go to bed? Well that way. I always know where it is
You don't go anywhere lynn. Just keep it in your pocket, and that way you'll know where it is and
you'll actually be safer in the event of a nasty fall or a freak accident with a knitting needle or
whatever, so
