In this day and age, everyone has to be online in some way or another. There isn't much left that doesn't involve technology or the Internet to some degree. While this might be simple for people who have grown up with the Internet, it is not that easy for older folks who have not. Luckily, there are many young people helping older people get online and connect with others. This is not a feat accomplished without some pretty hilarious mistakes, though.

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. Some people overshare in unrelated comment sections, some people post photos they did not mean to post, and some people don't quite understand context.

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.
