Some of the oldest adopters of new technology might not know how to take a selfie , but they have their priorities straight. I am too busy with my life as it is, one woman says in Jimmy Kimmel s challenge for seniors to snap photos of themselves.

Wednesdays clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live shows some older people fumbling in their smartphone efforts, but a few get it right.

For anyone who thinks the lighthearted video patronizes, a few comebacks from the aforementioned woman set things straight. After she takes a selfie, she is congratulated.

Im thrilled, she deadpans with an eye roll. The no-nonsense interviewee is later asked if its the greatest accomplishment of her life. I think getting my doctorate in mathematics was a little more great than this, she tartly replies.
