Sometimes last year, in the bustling Nairobi streets known for gadgets and gizmos, Grandma Ethel, the most unlikely tech enthusiast you could ever meet visited us at the Tech Junction Store.

With her trusty smartphone always in hand (though she often confused it with the TV remote), she navigated the world of online electronics shopping with both confusion and gusto.

So, grandma decided it was time to buy herself a new smartphone, one that would make her grandkids green with envy.

Armed with determination and her bifocals, she logged onto her favorite electronics store’s website, determined to find the latest gadget that would allow her to video chat with her friends while simultaneously checking the weather.

However, things didn’t go as planned.

Instead of adding the sleek new smartphone to her cart, she had accidentally ordered a dozen smart home devices designed for controlling smart home speakers (Apple homepod) remotely.

Our sales rep was more than excited by the huge order so she hurried and dispatched the items ASAP!

Confused by the sudden influx of high-tech gadgets arriving at her doorstep, Grandma Ethel embarked on a quest to turn her living room into a pet-friendly, voice-activated wonderland.

Hilarity ensued as she inadvertently programmed her TV to bark whenever the doorbell rang and her toaster to start playing soothing music whenever the cat walked by.

Through mishaps involving self-opening electronic blinds and a rogue robotic vacuum, Grandma Ethel discovered that maybe, just maybe, her adventures in the world of electronics weren’t about being the most tech-savvy, but about embracing the unexpected joy and laughter that comes with every misdirected click of the mouse.

Well, we just laughed it off and made the refund when she explained the confusion.

But we recommended she gets a Gen Z to help with the order next time!
