Kid Teaches Father How to Google... Only With Twitter: Funny or Mean Trick?

Funny! and mean! lol@ diane sawyer swimsuit pics

Man I wish I had done this to some old people I know.

lol, he "googled" the words "empty threes". Now we know how our new tech terminology sounds to older people.

I need some new empty threes to listen to.

hilarious

lol Diane sawyer ;P

rofl thats amazing! i can't wait to follow this guy on twitter it'll actually make it fun for once haha

its soo funny , although its kinda mean. leave it to a kid to convince an old guy tht twitter is google

If it's real, which I doubt it is, it's a mean trick, and possibly illegal as a combination of Phishing, social engineering, and a dash of the ol' confidence trickery. Every person, even an old man, has a reasonable expectation of privacy when performing a Google search, but because of a malicious lie (malicious because it was an intentional lie to subvert the private safeguards offered to ISP customers & Google users), his "private search history" was not only made public, but it's gone viral.

Although it does have it's humorous appeal, I wouldn't think it was funny if somebody hacked my search history and posted it all over the internet. I don't have anything to hide; I wouldn't give a hoot if my search history were broadcasted around the world, as long as I have the opportunity to explain the context under which the searches were made. A simple Google search history does not give any indication of the context in which the search was done.

I'm sure a lot of people searched "NAMBLA" after having watched a particular South Park episode about it. Most of those people only searched for it because they wanted to see if such an organization actually existed. That latter bit of information (the part about wanting to see if such an organization actually existed) is just as important and meaningful as the search itself, but it isn't stored in a person's Google search history.

Loosen up.

exactly! who couldn't laugh at diana sawyer swimsuit pics LOL

She Sawer yer coming

Hope the old guys knows how to go to Lawyers "R" Us and have the ingrate son written out of his will. Online. I guess he could google/twitter "How to tell how if your son is gay". Fair is fair."Sonny, where do I put the tape in this thing?"

he's 81, for crying out loud!!! though it does sound kind of fishy; even if hes old, wouldnt he realize hes not getting results??

That is so freaking funny - especially the Diane Sawyer swimsuit photos.

Hahahaha, I would do the same thing if my parents didn't know how to work computers.

What would you have thought if they would have shoved your ass out into a freeway when you didn't know how to ride a bike? Or how about pitching you into the 8' deep end of the pool when you didn't know how to swim, but they could. How about helping your parents like they did for you when you didn't know anything. Ingrate.

My parents have a sense of humor. They would laugh about it. They wouldn't be offended, anger, or annoyed. Learn to loosen up. Not everything in this world needs to be taken so seriously.

No need to get your panties in a bunch.

You think knowing computers and being able to tell them how to set up a 32-bit VM inside their 64-bit Vostro so they can run a XP downgrade makes you special? Can you go out and tear out your tranny, rebuild it, and then put it all back together? If you can, who taught you?
Respect your elders, listen to those that have lived longer than you. You will do better than those that don't. And be careful in statements like your last one. Say that to the wrong person and you might be surprised where you are when you wake up. You have a lot to learn.

Once again, my parents would laugh about it. They have pulled plenty of pranks on me. We are down to Earth. We don't get offended by irrelevant matters such as this. There is MUCH more to worry about in this world.

And I pretty sure I'll wake up in my bed. Like I do every morning.... Everyone has a lot to learn.

Funny in some ways but mean to the 81 year old man.

but hilarious, poor guy, I would be so embarrassed if i found out the truth and deeply pissed off. Still catch myself laughing though.

mean trick if it is real... but I think that it is a fake... some college kid in his dorm...

awh thats mean! haha, but how does he not realize it? I mean he's obviously not getting his information

You would think that he would at least decide that Twitter is broken. It's proabably fake.

My dad is 81 ... He is a really, really smart man - - but when it comes to computers he has difficulty understanding it all. He wants to know EVERYTHING.... Just the way of thinking from that generational cohort. When he first hooked up to the internet he couldn't understand when he was having email issues how I could log onto his account (I'm from Philly, he's from Pitt) and see his email....but I couldn't see everything he was looking at (like a word document). He also couldn't get the concept of plugging into the outlet - plugging into the internet. It was a difficult beginning - - but now he's a pro....I would never mess with that.

But a very clever and funny one lol.

but funny.

I'm starting to be the age where folks do it to me!

It's hilarious, but mean at the same time. Poor old man.

its soo mean....but i do have to admit i subscribed to his channel... someone should set him straight...don't u think he'd figure it out..maybe it just some guy wanting some attention and twitter subscriber..ether way

Poor guy. I feel sorry for him >.<

Karma will get the son!

LMAO!! Epically Hilarious!! Haha

classic that is a good idea

i don't believe in karma

wow i said the same thing to my buddy about God
