What internet places/things could I show my grandparents the next time I visit them? (feddit.org)

My grandparents practically don't leave their home anymore. So the next time I visit them, I would like to show them something they have not experienced or seen before.

I thought of taking them on a trip to different places using Google Earth (or something similar). I just want to go a little more interactive than just showing them videos or pictures.

I am limited to my laptop (and their TV + maybe a Chromecast).

Do you have any interesting internet things or places you would show your grandparents?

I think this depends a lot on the grandparents personality and mental state. If I had to do this with mine, I would pick places they have a personal connection to. For example, where they were born, the place their school is or used to be, somewhere memorable they visited during their honeymoon, you get the idea. Seeing stuff like that evolve through time is more interesting imo than just visiting, say, Paris or Tokyo virtually.
