Elgin, IL —

Attempting to once again press her old, wrinkled finger upon the TV screen, Grandma Robertson needed to be reminded that is not a touch screen. Continuously pressing the promo bar at the bottom of the screen, she yelled at the TV, “I’m done with this football game. Come on, damn you, I want to watch 60 Minutes!” “Nana, your finger’s not going to put on a different TV show,” her grandson Ethan reminded her. “Remember when you threw your shawl at the screen when you couldn’t get The Great British Baking Show to come on?” Later on, Grandma Robertson attempted to click the Google Chrome icon on the computer monitor. When her granddaughter Isabelle told her to put her hand on the mouse, she ran out of the room screaming.
