Grandma was struggling, for a long time, with the device without being able to make it work.
"Honey, apparently the browser does not work on this computer," said the grandmother to the grandson, who was hypnotized on the screen of his cell phone.
Without taking his eyes off his phone, he answered
"Just reinstall the browser, granny"
Grandma scratched her head and commented again
"Oh goodness! How do I do that?"
"Very easy, enter through the control panel, go to programs and features and then uninstall the software and use the explorer to download your browser again."
The grandmother tried to remember each step her little grandson told her. Repeating verbally every word he heard.
"Where do I find the control panel?" She asked again
"Press the Start icon, the big, round button that appears in the bottom," the little boy replied annoyed.
Grandma adjusted her small glasses while wrinkling her eyes, leaning her head in search of the round button.
Suddenly the grandson furrowed his brow when he heard a very familiar purr.
"Well, the only thing I see is a dish circling over and over, it must be the screensaver," affirmed the grandmother
"Grandma?"
"Yes, my love?"
"I just figure it out why your browser does not work"
She removed her glasses and looked at his grandson
"And what seems to be the reason? My child"
"Because you're using the microwave!"

dear @jadams2k18
I truly enjoyed your micro-fiction story buddy :)
Indeed very easy hahaha! :D
You killed me this very second! hahahahaha amazing :)
ps. I wonder how difficult it will be for our generation once we will be 70-80 years old. Technology is changing rapidly. Way faster than older people can catch up.
The gap between old and young will be increasing rapidly.
Cheers

I'm glad you've enjoyed it!
Yes! Kids are like that, everything is easy for them (I mean this new generation), they already know how to use your phone, your laptop, how to enter your computer, etc.
But, ask them how much is 8x7!? hahahaha
Thanks for passing by my dear friend
My youngest brother asked me lately:
how much is 1011 x 1011 ..... And I was like: WTF!!! :)
He calculated this within 2-3 minutes in his head. I didn't even know where to start ....

Oh my, what a funny twist! Poor grandma. It has got to be difficult to be in your elder years with all of this technology emerging all around you, and your smarty-pants grandson knowing everything!
Kids! Am I right?
