While people everywhere were drooling over Apple’s presenatation where it not only rolled out a new iPhone, but also the Apple Watch, Rep. John Dingell, D-Michigan, definitely wasn’t one of them.

Dingell, the 88-year-old whose known for his brilliance on Twitter, took to the social media platform to point out a smart watch is totally ridiculous.

There are lots of other things from today’s world that Dingell doesn’t quite get.

And don’t even try to have him explain what a “Kardashian” is.
