In this day and age, most people have to be on the Internet in some way or another. There aren't many things left in the world that do not involve the Internet or technology in some way. This is a relatively simple idea for people who have grown up with technology, but for those who are brand-new to it, this can be very difficult to succeed at. With practice, though, elders can be online.

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 there are still ways to make mistakes. While these failures can be cringeworthy, it is also pretty hilarious to see what some folks manage to post to Facebook without even really realizing. It could be an accidental selfie or some off-hand comment, maybe a case of oversharing.

There are hundreds of these failures that have occurred online and they are shared for people to see and laugh at. At least these individuals are trying their best. Enjoy these 25 photos and screenshots of elders trying their best to use the web.
