Old Man Doesn’t Understand Escalator

In Papua New Guinea, the old timers are have a little trouble getting used to new Western technology. Take this old man in a grocery store in Papua New Guinea. He just stands in front of the steps of a new escalator in shock and awe.

Others just walk around him and hop on, but he seems unable to comprehend the concept. Finally, a group gathers and a woman coerces him on. He seems frightened and nervous, but also excited. The old video from 2008 is being shared on Reddit.
