Since my father, after wavering for about a year while he didn’t really want one, has gotten an iPhone, all four members of my family now have smartphones. Let the terror commence.

YES!!! I love when parents give in to technology. My dad got a Tivo and still sets the VCR . . .
I doubt my parents even know what Tivo is. I have not lived in America for five years, so I’ve never even seen one in person.
The crazy thing is that my parents have actually regressed in their tech savvy over the years. When I was in middle school, my dad personally installed a pretty impressive computer network (for the day) in our home – even running the cables through the attic from room to room so it wouldn’t ruin the decor. Now that networking has become a million times easier due to the proliferation of wifi, they can barely figure it out, and don’t even bother to put a password on their router.
Guaranteed your parents know what a DVR/Tivo is. If my parents have one, I'd be shocked if your's don't. My dad used the same VHS tape to record over and over again for 20+ years, and I finally got them to make the switch… seeing as how Comcast now builds them in directly to the cable box, they've become prolific (although not as polished as a Tivo).
