Not likely. You have to remember that Boomers grew up with zero computing in their lives, thus they never did get a general education on computing.
That general education instils the foundational knowledge and habits, and is extended by new technologies, not replaced by them.
Gen Z is already worse with the tech that they grew up with because it is so simple and "just works" without them having to learn even simple things like file structures or how to type. So, I guess, no, you're looking at the wrong generation. Millennials grew up having to learn new tech as it developed, so adaptation is a skill among our generation.
I think the opposite actually. We had to live through rapid changes in the way we used and interacted with technology in our early years. I think we may be slower to adopt certain things than the younger generations because of "fuck change", but on a whole I think we will be more technically competent with newer technologies as they emerge.
Careful about generalizations. I've been using computer technology since 1975.... #COBOL 👨🦳
No. Was born in the 90s and I'm doing fine
I already am.
Yes. I think the big jump will be with biotech. Some people will have trouble with organic interfaces and organic machines.
Meanwhile I love watching kids who have used touchscreens their whole lives trying to navigate a mouse.
Yes. Absolutely 100% yes. I meet people my age who have comparable tech skills to my grandpa. This is not related to age, its related to how much work you put into your devices.
Yes I think so, I'm already seeing young people helping their millenial parents with their phones.
Yes, of course, lol. It will just be a tech that hasn't been invented yet.
