Celebrate National Grandparents’ Day

Tech Savvy Grandparents = the new norm

They may have grown up with a rotary dial – or even four digit phone numbers – but today’s grandparents are more tech savvy than any generation before them. Whether it’s playing a game on their tablet, commenting on every single family photo posted to Facebook and discovering how to communicate with emojis…nanny and pop pop likely want to hang with the cool kids when it comes to technology.

Memories of baking cookies at grandma’s or bowling with gramps “go social” these days! #GrampsIsChamps Maybe they like to take pictures of their family on their smart phone, sing car karaoke with their grandkids or just watch a movie on the front porch with their tablet.

Grandparents Day is September 10th and Cricket Wireless has affordable and fun ideas for the young at heart. Spend time giving back to those who showed you how to be kind, nurturing and patient. Grandparents may be getting older, but they can still teach us all a thing or two.
