00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.360
the good people at honor reached out to sponsor a piece featuring their new

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:10.440
honor 6X smartphone so they send it over

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:15.000
and I'm sitting there bored at a family function putting the gears to the

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.080
phone's dual ends camera Kiren 665

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:21.800
octacore CPU 4 gigs of RAM and 3340 mAh

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

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.480
Scrabble table and meanwhile I'm kind of sitting there

00:00:26.279 --> 00:00:33.399
going why don't you just Google it but

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:40.160
it's not all bad thanks to my entire evening of eye rolling face palming and

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:44.280
full body cringing we all get to

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:47.079
experience this fantastic video eight of

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:53.580
the worst ways the older generation makes my head

00:00:49.199 --> 00:01:02.680
explode brought to you by the honor 6x

00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:10.200
number one my dad seems

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:13.479
completely unable to wrap his head

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.799
around the fact that making phone calls

00:01:13.479 --> 00:01:21.079
ain't what it used to be he still it is

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:24.439
2017 he still tries to crank call me

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.400
crank call me like I'll answer my phone

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

00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:38.159
with some goofy accent trying to convince me that I got the wrong number

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:41.119
dude I know it's you I've had caller ID

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

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:51.680
nobody dials numbers anymore number two

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

00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:03.399
ready for this I proactively structure the question like so hey can you give me

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.680
your new address Gran and to my dismay

00:02:03.399 --> 00:02:09.800
she like every other old person on the

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:13.520
planet proceeds to launch into this

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:16.760
elaborate play byplay of the rote go go

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.040
past the Giant Tiger then uh left at the

00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:23.120
spoon shaped Rock and you'll see this really friendly young man watering the

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:29.200
grass well well that's Chester the neighbor's sonin-law and he works at the

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.280
co-op and okay this is not a quest

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:34.640
grandma I'm not retaining any of this

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:41.800
I'm not listening please For the Love of All that is good tell me the address so

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:45.319
I can open my maps app and key it in

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:48.159
number three thanks to simple interfaces

00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:54.800
like honors emotion UI smartphones are getting easier and easier to use but

00:02:51.959 --> 00:03:01.280
just because an older person learns to use the internet doesn't mean they

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:03.760
really get how to internet and we've all

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

00:03:07.239 --> 00:03:13.840
copy paste your status update you posted

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:16.959
it doesn't mean I'm not your true friend

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.239
that funny Chain Letter well if the

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.360
memes have e-bombs world watermarks

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:27.159
they're probably a little dated and

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.840
auntie thank you so much for the Urgent

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:33.519
cyber security advisory telling me to beware of people calling and pretending

00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:40.239
they work for Microsoft I know your heart's in the

00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:44.360
right place but please just oh

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:47.799
please number four why is it that every

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:50.480
time I go somewhere with my dad he's

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:55.640
always trying to get me to memorize what section of the parking garage we're in

00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:58.959
so that we don't lose the car okay

00:03:55.640 --> 00:04:01.920
what's the color orange okay what's the

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

00:04:04.079 --> 00:04:09.840
picture and move on it doesn't consume

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:14.400
film anymore and we don't have to wait for it to get

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.720
developed number five you convinced your

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:24.919
mother-in-law to get a cell phone but she refuses to get cellular data because

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:27.120
it's expensive and Lisa needs braces

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

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.960
Ting and you know what else is expensive getting lost two blocks from your

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:44.120
grandson's birthday party and spending 15 minutes on the phone with me trying

00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:50.360
to figure out where the heck you are which way is west and which Auto Wrecker

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:56.639
to drive towards to get back on the right path you aren't even supposed to

00:04:53.240 --> 00:05:00.720
be on the phone when you're driving

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:03.199
number six my dad knows how to text me

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:09.800
he even sends instant messages and pictures over Hangouts but he doesn't

00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:12.600
seem to grasp the added utility that

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

00:05:17.080 --> 00:05:25.199
epic wall of text with where he's staying the recent weather best wishes

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

00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:37.360
instant messaging I can reply right away

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:42.319
you can reply right away and we can have a conversation do your relatives ever

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

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:52.160
seven my auntie still brings her digital

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:56.759
point and shoot that runs on ablea batteries to family functions even

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

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:07.280
share pictures with it just seems like it's hard for some older people to

00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:12.759
internalize just how many single use devices modern phones have replaced I

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:17.599
mean what's next a calculator at the restaurant to split the belt damn it

00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:24.360
Vern there is an app for that and finally number eight right next to the

00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:26.520
landline phone at my grandparents house

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:34.319
is a wall power adapter for the cell phone that lives in the wall with the

00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:37.639
phone next to it plugged in 100% of the

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:40.080
time when they're at home sometimes I

00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:46.639
even see them stand there while they're talking on it do you realize that modern

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.880
phones like this one can last for like 2

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

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:58.080
always know where it is you don't go

00:06:55.440 --> 00:07:04.160
anywhere Lynn just keep it in your pocket and that way you'll know where it

00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:06.720
is and you'll actually be safer in the

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:12.319
event of a nasty fall or a freak accident with a knitting needle or

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:14.560
whatever so thanks to honor for

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:18.759

00:07:16.599 --> 00:07:23.599
