People adapting to new technology can simultaneously be a challenging experience for them and entertaining for others.

While efforts in learning about new innovations are to be commended, we can't help but be amused spectators as they struggle with understandably confusing technology.


Kenneth "Kenny" Jary is an 80-year-old veteran who proved that, at any age, you never stop learning and can have a TikTok account go viral.

Jary, a.k.a. @patriotickenny, started a TikTok account to raise awareness about veterans through informational videos.

Periodically, he features humorous clips demonstrating his experiences with new technology.

In a recent video, Jary tried his hand at communicating with virtual assistant technology, Alexa, for the first time.

It doesn't go smoothly.

"Can I ask her?" Jary asked his off-camera friend Amanda, who was introducing him to Alexa, at the start of the clip.

When given affirmation, he leaned into the tablet and summoned, "A- Alexa?"

"No answer," he said, after a brief pause.

Eventually, after hearing a verbal response, Jary proceeded to ask, "Alexa, how about sausage and pepperoni pizzas. Are they good for you, or not?"

But his question was mistakenly interpreted as a shopping order to add to a grocery list.

And when he looked at the screen, he found that one of the items added to the shopping list was underwear.

Alexa cleared his list after he clarified he didn't want a shopping list. And when Jary thanked her, she replied, "Anytime, literally."

Jary was floored, and viewers of the clip were enamored.

The delightful interaction was a hit online with over 17 million views.

Some commented on how watching the video invoked their own virtual assistant at home.

Amazon's TikTok account also weighed in on the budding friendship.

The clip is one of many featuring Jary's interaction with Alexa, and each one is just as priceless–including one in which he asks Alexa to fart.

Taylor Swift's new extended album The Life of a Showgirl: Encore has been even more poorly received than the original version last year, and you can count Todd Rundgren among those who aren't impressed.

Who the heck is that? The 78-year-old rocker had a slew of hits in the 1970s, including "Hello It's Me" and "I Saw The Light," and also produced some of the most important rock albums of the era.

Spencer Pratt Gets Blunt Reminder After Claiming It's 'Weird' That James Talarico Is Almost 40 And Has Never Been Married

According to U.S. Census Bureau Estimates, as of 2026, the estimated median age at first marriage in the United States is 30.8 years for men. That has changed over time as people are waiting longer to get married.

In 1975, the median age for men to marry for the first time was 23.5, by 2004 it had risen to 27.4, and by 2014 to 29.3. The steady increase over the decades was attributed to more people prioritizing completing their education and establishing their careers to become financially stable before marrying.

Trump promised a "Trump dividend" of $5000 to every adult if Republicans win both chambers of Congress, asked his supporters to do him “the biggest favor” and “pretend” they are voting for him in November.
