A 90-year-old grandmother from Kerala's Thrissur district is winning love on the internet for her zeal to adapt to the tech culture.

Taking to social media platform Reddit, Thomas said, "My grandmother, aged 90, learning to use the laptop to read the e-newspaper. I think her willingness to accept and adapt to change is really appreciable."

The images shared show Mary sitting on the chair and reading the e-paper of Malayalam daily, Mathrubhumi. As per reports, Mary's family had to stop the delivery of newspapers to the home owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

With netizens spotting the contents of the online paper, Thomas said that his grandmother “starts off with reading the obituary and keeps a track of the people who died in a week”.

Thomas also confirmed that it hasn't been long since his grandmother started reading online, hardly for a month, reports The Indian Express.
