Channel 4 has tested older people's knowledge of belfies, Twitter, Fomo and more.
The video was created as part of the channel's X campaign, aiming to encourage younger people to vote in the upcoming general election.
'Why Give a Xxxx?' stars Cardinal Burns actor Steve Brody, who tests members of the public on the likes of Tinder, Snapchat and emojis.
The clip sets out to demonstrate to young voters how little older age groups know about the things that are important to 18 to 24-year-olds.
Channel 4 is also reminding young people to register online before the April 20 deadline, and will send daily texts to those who sign up reminding them to vote on May 7.
Commissioning Editor of Channel 4 Multiplatform and Online Video Adam Gee said: "X marks the spot where young people's power resides and we're encouraging them not to throw it away.

ITV2 has commissioned a new sitcom from Bad Education writer Freddy Syborn.
Cockroaches will be a post-apocalyptic romantic comedy starring Daniel Lawrence Taylor (Uncle) and Esther Smith (Skins).
The pair play Tom and Suze, two 19-year-olds hoping for a better future, before nuclear war hits. With the world about to end, they have sex, but unexpectedly survive the apocalypse.
Ten years later, the pair return from Suze's basement as 29-year-olds searching for the remnants of pre-war England.
The comedy will deal with what happens after a nuclear holocaust, including boredom, laziness, relationships, money, cannibalism and leadership.
Nigel Planer, Jaime Winstone, Caroline Quentin, Dan Renton Skinner, Sarah Daykin and Tom Davis will also make appearances.
Jack Whitehall will also cameo as Oscar, the irritating ex-boyfriend of Suze.
Angela Jain, Director of Digital Channels and Acquisitions for ITV, said: "I never thought I'd be happy to say we have Cockroaches at ITV...

With new seasons of existing shows to get me through the year, this list was a hard one to devise.
10. Fox’s Napoleon Dynamite
Following the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite the series follows the adventures of Dynamite and his family and friends. With Simpsons/Parks and Rec producer Mike Scully as executive producer, the franchise has been successfully modernised and molded for the TV realm.
The original cast is back as their characters and there are some new faces too. Unfortunately with Dynamite being constantly being compared to Fox’s other animated shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy, the show saw cancellation right after the first season.
9. ABC’s Last Resort
Along with 666 Park Avenue, ABC unfortunately cancelled Last Resort this year. A stimulating, new drama with a highly fascinating concept, Last Resort is about the renegade crew of a U.S. navy missile submarine.
With impressive special effects and remarkable submarine interior shots,...

There was plenty to howl about at last night's comedy awards. But while Olivia Colman and Cuckoo missed out, there were well-deserved gongs for The Thick of It, Hunderby and Reeves and Mortimer
There is no justice. That is what a lot of nominated comedians who missed out on a British comedy award last night will be thinking today, despite painting on obligatory smiles at the unusually well-behaved ceremony in London. But actually there is some justice after all. The nearest the painfully unfunny Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis got to taking home an award was when he leapt onstage and attempted to snatch somebody else's mantelpiece-bound slab from the rostrum.
Olivia Colman fans might have good reason to feel that justice took the night off. The 57 judges, drawn from journalism, TV production and performers, shortlisted Colman against herself for best comedy actress in Rev and Twenty Twelve, only for her to go home empty-handed.
