When an 85-year-old grandmother learns to use Google Home, an angel gets its wings
Watch Next

If you missed your grandmother this year, this video will probably make you feel a little better.

YouTuber Ben Actis uploaded a video Wednesday of his 85-year-old Italian grandma trying to get acquainted with a new Google Home. Sure, her accent might get in the way, but she seems to have a difficult time understand the exact protocol when conversing with our new voice-activated assistants/overlords.

And when it does work..."I'm scared. It's a mystery."

She is a wonderful mascot for everything we can one day hope to be: Someone who can have a good time trying to figure out these new fangled whoozie whatsits the kids keep giving you for Christmas.
