Old people being confused about technology is a common rhetoric. Whether it's their cell phone, Facebook or the remote control, some members of the older generation just have a tough time wrapping their heads around all this modern mumbo jumbo. To be fair, some parts of technology and certain sites can be a pain to get to work at times, but it is also really funny to see how badly they can mess it up. No hate to these older folks online, at least they are trying, and who's to say the next generation of old people won't be just as confused with the inevitably new gadgets and sites?

But for now, we can poke a bit of fun at them. Reddit's /r/oldpeoplefacebook is a subreddit that collects the most laughable, cringeworthy, and ultimately facepalm-worthy moments from old people trying their best to navigate technology and the Internet. Here are 25 of those very silly, somewhat shocking times.
