My mother has recently found the joys of #Whatsapp, smartphones in general. After years and years of pestering, she finally relented and started using one. It was my dad’s old Asus ZenFone 5 she first practiced on. After weeks of learning, of sending wrong messages, of discovering conversing and emoting through emoticons, of being added to numerous family groups, of countless good morning and night forwards, she is now familiar with internet jargon.
