Rita and Frank's perfect picture ruined by modern technology

Rita and Frank's perfect picture ruined by modern technology
It is said a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case the resulting video tells the better story.



Even the most tech-savvy have had to resort to the instruction manual to operate their new gadgets. So spare a thought for US pensioners Rita and Frank.

The technology novices have become unwitting internet stars after their attempt to work the camera function on their new computer failed and the pair ended up recording their efforts instead.

Posing cake in hand for a photograph for a friend's 84th birthday, the elderly couple repeatedly smile into the camera to no avail. Rita then dons her reading glasses to investigate the functioning of her new Mac's Photobooth program, as an increasingly frustrated Frank puts down the cake.

Rita and Frank's struggle to grasp modern technology has received over 600,000 views on YouTube.
