00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,360
the good people at honor reached out to sponsor a piece featuring their new

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,440
honor 6X smartphone so they send it over

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:15,000
and I'm sitting there bored at a family function putting the gears to the

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,080
phone's dual ends camera Kiren 665

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,800
octacore CPU 4 gigs of RAM and 3340 mAh

6
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:25,320
battery I'm at my in-law's house right and an argument breaks out at the

7
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:30,480
Scrabble table and meanwhile I'm kind of sitting there

8
00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:33,399
going why don't you just Google it but

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:40,160
it's not all bad thanks to my entire evening of eye rolling face palming and

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,280
full body cringing we all get to

11
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,079
experience this fantastic video eight of

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:53,580
the worst ways the older generation makes my head

13
00:00:49,199 --> 00:01:02,680
explode brought to you by the honor 6x

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:10,200
number one my dad seems

15
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,479
completely unable to wrap his head

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,799
around the fact that making phone calls

17
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:21,079
ain't what it used to be he still it is

18
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:24,439
2017 he still tries to crank call me

19
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:26,400
crank call me like I'll answer my phone

20
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:31,520
and he'll start pretending to order a pizza or I'll call him and he'll answer

21
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:38,159
with some goofy accent trying to convince me that I got the wrong number

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,119
dude I know it's you I've had caller ID

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:49,360
on my phone since I was in high school and I know I didn't Mis dial your number

24
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:51,680
nobody dials numbers anymore number two

25
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:57,719
I needed to get to my grandma's new place so I even proactively like I'm

26
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:03,399
ready for this I proactively structure the question like so hey can you give me

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,680
your new address Gran and to my dismay

28
00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:09,800
she like every other old person on the

29
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:13,520
planet proceeds to launch into this

30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:16,760
elaborate play byplay of the rote go go

31
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,040
past the Giant Tiger then uh left at the

32
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:23,120
spoon shaped Rock and you'll see this really friendly young man watering the

33
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:29,200
grass well well that's Chester the neighbor's sonin-law and he works at the

34
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:32,280
co-op and okay this is not a quest

35
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,640
grandma I'm not retaining any of this

36
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:41,800

37
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:45,319
I can open my maps app and key it in

38
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:48,159
number three thanks to simple interfaces

39
00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:54,800
like honors emotion UI smartphones are getting easier and easier to use but

40
00:02:51,959 --> 00:03:01,280
just because an older person learns to use the internet doesn't mean they

41
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:03,760
really get how to internet and we've all

42
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:10,480
suffered the consequences of this one so here's a few etiquette tips if I don't

43
00:03:07,239 --> 00:03:13,840
copy paste your status update you posted

44
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,959
it doesn't mean I'm not your true friend

45
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,239
that funny Chain Letter well if the

46
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,360
memes have e-bombs world watermarks

47
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:27,159
they're probably a little dated and

48
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,840
auntie thank you so much for the Urgent

49
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:33,519

51
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:44,360
right place but please just oh

please number four why is it that every

53
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,480
time I go somewhere with my dad he's

54
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:55,640
always trying to get me to memorize what section of the parking garage we're in

55
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:58,959
so that we don't lose the car okay

56
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,920
what's the color orange okay what's the

57
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:07,400
number shoot I forget let's go back look I'm way ahead of you Dad just take a

58
00:04:04,079 --> 00:04:09,840
picture and move on it doesn't consume

59
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:14,400
film anymore and we don't have to wait for it to get

60
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,720
developed number five you convinced your

61
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:24,919
mother-in-law to get a cell phone but she refuses to get cellular data because

62
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:27,120
it's expensive and Lisa needs braces

63
00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:34,039
well you know what I have to say to that data plan it's like $10 a month Less on

64
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:38,960
Ting and you know what else is expensive getting lost two blocks from your

65
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:44,120
grandson's birthday party and spending 15 minutes on the phone with me trying

66
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:50,360
to figure out where the heck you are which way is west and which Auto Wrecker

67
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:56,639
to drive towards to get back on the right path you aren't even supposed to

68
00:04:53,240 --> 00:05:00,720
be on the phone when you're driving

69
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:03,199
number six my dad knows how to text me

70
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:09,800
he even sends instant messages and pictures over Hangouts but he doesn't

71
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,600
seem to grasp the added utility that

72
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:19,680
these modern mediums have over snail mail so every 3 to 5 days he sends me an

73
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:25,199
epic wall of text with where he's staying the recent weather best wishes

74
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:35,000
for the kids and then he signs his name at the bottom and I'm like pops it's

75
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:37,360
instant messaging I can reply right away

76
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,319
you can reply right away and we can have a conversation do your relatives ever

77
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:49,759
send you snail mail and then text you to tell you to expect it why did you number

78
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,160
seven my auntie still brings her digital

79
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:56,759
point and shoot that runs on ablea batteries to family functions even

80
00:05:54,280 --> 00:06:02,080
though the camera on her phone is way better way easier to use and easy to to

81
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:07,280
share pictures with it just seems like it's hard for some older people to

82
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:12,759
internalize just how many single use devices modern phones have replaced I

83
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:17,599
mean what's next a calculator at the restaurant to split the belt damn it

84
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:24,360
Vern there is an app for that and finally number eight right next to the

85
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,520
landline phone at my grandparents house

86
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:34,319
is a wall power adapter for the cell phone that lives in the wall with the

87
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:37,639
phone next to it plugged in 100% of the

88
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:40,080
time when they're at home sometimes I

89
00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:46,639
even see them stand there while they're talking on it do you realize that modern

90
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,880
phones like this one can last for like 2

91
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:55,440
days before they die why not just plug it in when you go to bed well that way I

92
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,080
always know where it is you don't go

93
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:04,160
anywhere Lynn just keep it in your pocket and that way you'll know where it

94
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,720
is and you'll actually be safer in the

95
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:12,319
event of a nasty fall or a freak accident with a knitting needle or

96
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:14,560
whatever so thanks to honor for
