Mobiles and texting has been done to death, so i would stay away from that. Lets see, my 80+ year old grand mother is having a real hard time figuring out digital television and how all the menus and options work.
When she tries to record something she normally ends up recording the wrong thing by accident. There could maybe be some fun to be had with that, grandma records porn by accident or something.
There are more subtle ones too that maybe you could use. for example, the guy on the TV will say “up next is the antiques road show, but now its the simpsons”. so really, the antiques road show is not next, the simpsons is next. So maybe there is some confusion to be had over that.
Is this supposed to be a comedy btw? or something else?
lets see, some others:
- automated phone machines, press 1, press 2, press 3 etc..
– digital picture frames.
– digital voting
– ordering food online
– self checkout at the supermaket.
SIDE NOTE: I just discovered one more thing that makes fluther awesome. My pc crashed, i needed to restart, it crashed again, i restarted again. The pc finaly worked, and when i got back to fluther i had not lost what i had typed, fluther saved it some how. way cool.
