A old lady post.
Your gran rings to say she's won an iPhone. A pop-up told her, so it must be true, and she only had to type in her bank details, which she has helpfully done twice in case the first time didn't go through. She has joined the family group chat. Her first message is "HELLO IS THIS WORKING" and her second is a voice note of her asking your grandad whether it's working. It is working. Nobody has had the heart to say. At the self-checkout she thanks the machine. When it announces an unexpected item in the bagging area, she apologises to it and explains that it's a cardigan. The assistant comes over. She apologises to him as well. She types her questions into the search bar as polite letters. "Dear Google, what time does the chemist close, kind regards, Margaret." Google answers. She isn't surprised. Google has always seemed like a nice young man. **Why it caught on:** Reddit users found a stock photo of a woman startled by her laptop in February 2011 and named her Internet Grandma, and everyone who has done tech support for a grandparent over the phone recognised the look at once.
