I know that my dad is really tech savvy and my grandpa said that he goes on Christian forums and says controversial things that he believes to debate with people so I guess if you're wondering that's where I got it

Your Typical Trickster
My parents know how to use computers pretty well, but my grandparents never owned a computer in their entire life surprisingly. They never wanted to learn how to use one. My grandpa on my mom's side I'm a little worried when he uses my computer because he can be pretty rough with things when his temper kicks in.

I'm watching you nerds
My father has an iMac in his room. That's how tech savvy he is.
Parents: my Dad is a huge tech and PC gaming nerd, so, incredibly. My mother not so much. She has an iPad she uses just to shop online/pay bills.
Maternal grandparents. HA! My other grandmother loves Facebook games, but other than that I don't know.

big old brat tbh
My mother is at typical "mom level" I guess. She knows enough to get around, spams me with emojis even though Skype doesn't seem to be able to translate phone emojis, and sends me chain letters, but aside from that she very rarely needs to ask for my help with computers and the like, which I greatly appreciate.
My father is absolutely HORRIBLE when it comes to any and all technology. He stopped paying attention to computers after we packed away our Commodore 64, and when we (partner & I) gave him one of our "old" desktops after building new ones, he was completely lost. He only asked for said computer because WebTV had finally kicked the bucket - yes, he was seriously paying for WebTV, or MSNtv or whatever it was called before it went kaput - and even though he's had it for a year at this point and uses it on a daily basis, he still has so many questions that it's borderline infuriating. At first I was understanding, but to this day he doesn't understand the difference between an e-mail account and a website, and clicks a lot of things he shouldn't, then calls me to come round and fix it. Sometimes by the time I get to the computer I can't even figure out what the hell he's done to it in the first place. T_T

She must be a super surfer!
My dad use to work in computer forensics, so he knows his way around computers and technology. He's one of those people who will take anything and be able to fix it - whether it be technology, like a DVD player or a computer, or fixing cars and ATVs.
My mom knows some. She knows how to Google, use Microsoft Word, essentially the basics. She can text, but doesn't want to learn how to download games or smaller miscellaneous things like that.
My grandparents, it's like trying to explain to a 3 year old what a nuclear physicists does in their day-to-day work. Thank god I don't have to deal with them, my dad some how has the patience for that.

Meh
My dad is tech savvy, but my mom is on the complete opposite of the spectrum. I don't know about my grandparents because they're dead.

(he him or they them)
Why don't you either:
1. Don't let him use the thing?
2. Tell him not to break your damn stuff?
omfg my mom did too! And she used internet explorer until I showed her google chrome lmao.
As for my grandparents, one set is relatively okay, they use the internet and have smartphones. The other live in Kentucky and have an ancient desktop and dial-up. They don't use facebook or email. I don't know how they do it.
Uhmm... This is how my mom texts... （･_･)
