YouTube Video That Captured Senior Moments Goes Viral

17.09.2011
Webcams are not only hip for young people, but they also can be good for seniors even if they don't know how to use them.

That was certainly true for Bruce and Esther Huffman.

The elderly couple, who live at a retirement community in McMinnville, Ore., unknowingly recorded a video of themselves trying to figure out how to use their new laptop's webcam. The video captured some off-color senior moments that are now the buzz of the social network stratosphere.

If you haven't seen it yet, there's a good chance someone on Facebook, Twitter or email will be sharing it with you soon. Titled "Webcam 101 for Seniors," the YouTube video has been viewed more than 5.5 million times within the last few days.

And it's no wonder.

In a world with no shortage of bad news every day, this story is different.
