Granddaughter teaches 102-year-old grandpa and 89-year-old grandma how to order Uber Eats
Younger generations swiftly adapt when learning the latest technologies. Whether it’s the latest iPhone, Meta Glasses, or a new app, it’s usually easily mastered in minutes.
And, although older generations may not naturally be the most tech-savvy, some are eager to learn and keep up with the times, especially when it involves food delivery. Their success rate all comes down to instruction from a patient teacher.
So, when Francesca Rietti’s 102-year-old Grandpa George and 89-year-old Grandma Annie asked her to help them learn how to use Uber Eats, she happily stepped up. Rietti documented the journey in a series of touching videos that have the Internet smiling.
“I think people connect with them because they’re genuinely just very positive, curious people who are still excited to learn new things,” Rietti tells Upworthy.

Grandma’s Uber Eats crash course
Rietti shared the first lesson with her grandparents in a series of TikTok videos.
“Welcome to UberEats 101,” she says at the beginning.
Rietti sits in front of a desktop computer with her grandparents on either side of her as she takes them to Ubereats.com to get started.
“I had to teach them on the desktop computer because their iPhones are too old to support the Uber Eats app. It literally wouldn’t let me download it on their phones, which honestly made the whole thing even funnier,” she tells Upworthy.
The camera pans to her Grandma Annie, who has a notebook and pen to take notes. Step by step, Rietti explains the browser and how to find the Uber Eats homepage.
Grandma Annie is locked in, asking lots of questions. At one........
