Everyone has to be able to use the Internet, especially in this day and age. There isn't much left that doesn't involve technology or the Internet to some degree. This is a pretty simple concept for those who have grown up using the Internet, but for the elders, this is more difficult. Luckily, there are many young people helping older people get online and connect with others. This is something that is not done without a few mistakes here and there, though. Old people will always make mistakes online, and they will always be funny.

Much of the older generation uses the Internet to connect with friends and family, which means that Facebook is a hotspot for all of them. Facebook is a relatively simple site to use, but still, some people manage to make mistakes and mess up their posts and comments. Whether it's people oversharing in comments or on their timelines, accidental selfies being posted, or someone not understanding tone and context, these fails are everywhere.

Many of these failures have been caught and shared online for all to see and shake their heads at. At least they are trying their best. Here are 25 of them to enjoy today, ones that might make you feel better about your own mistakes.
