Call out thread. And I don't believe it. Even if Highland wears his pants above the belly button, I think he knows what wi-fi is.

Pshhh, you're the one disparaging America's youth!!! If it weren't for younginz' like me, how would you know how to take selfies, or do a duck face???

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Wait... you know what a cell phone is right??? 0-:^)
WTH is that? Coffee enemas and bestiality? D:D: World's gone to hell, Martha.



As an aside, I do have/use a lgvx8300. Embarrasses the hell out of my 13 y.o.:awe: "Dad, even those old people have smart phones." Well, let me make a call...."NO, please, no.":D:D

haha, when my Dad got a Galaxy S4, I was blown away. He came from a late 90s era POS flip phone.

Then hell froze over when my mom, who could barely text or even dial a phone number on a cell phone, got an iphone5 AND an iPad.

You old timers try... It's cute.

And I found a picture of myself and my now 16yo (back in the pic she was about 1) cousin, and I was duck facing, like 15 years ago. I invented that shit, I DESERVE ROYALTIES!

Heck yes. There's a label right on my Victor cabinet stereo system with the detachable speaker. Like a boss.

Had to learn the "i" products to monitor my kid.

Royalties? How about a punch in the balls?

And I don't text either. Luddites unite.

Is she French? In France they say "we fee". I was at a hostel asking for the password for the WiFi and they all gave me strange looks until they realized I meant the we fee.

Royale Fi ?

:sneaky:

Have an older guy at work, and I guess I'm relatively old, has a little net book he thinks is high tech and was asking a few people about trying to install MasterCam on it in seriousness for a bit.

:\

I'm at a cafe right now and there's a sign on the door that reads "free wi-fi."

An older man just walked in and asked the cashier to give him his free wi-fi. The cashier tried to explain that it is free, but he kept demanding they give it to him because he thinks it's a physical object. Man, I wish I were faster with my phone to record the hilarity of that conversation.

It's probably Johnny Knoxville in an old man suit.

That's funny. I know someone who works at a bakery, they had a sign that read "gluten free bread". Some old guy walks in asking about the free bread and demanding one because the sign says there's free bread.

Heard another funny story from my mom, one of her friends was at a restaurant and there was a sign that said "wifi: coming soon" or something like that. She asked the waitress about it as she wanted to try it when it's available. She thought it was a kind of soup or something. She pronounced it "we fee".

The Panera Bread in my town has a sign that says "802.11b WiFi available" as soon as you walk in. Very prominent. Can't miss it.

No wonder the WiFi there is unusable...
