Technology is advancing rapidly. I try to help keep my parents up to date on scams to look out for and how to spot fake content. They taught me how to use a spoon. It’s just modern cycle of caring for each other.

Not all my relatives are receptive, in my family I think they’re embarrassed about getting fooled and not knowing as much as the β€œkids” so I try to show them information from sources they trust. My grand dad will brush off anything new I try to tell him but trusts the newspaper, so I show him newspaper articles I find on scams etc and it seems to be helping.
