We’re amazed that Pushin’-A-Hundred-aged Great Grandma can do so much on her iPad.

Like the OP, she has no idea where anything she’s looking at comes from: “Well, there was a cute baby tiger that I want to get back…” “Was it on a web page?” “No, but it might’ve been on the internet, or on facebook…”

I live in the same state, at least, so she can write down problems and save them up. Sometimes she’ll just stop printing til I can run over there.

.

She keeps asking if she should get a Smart Phone, and we all cringe… but she’s gotten better at her iPad than she was as a “mere 90-year-old”).
