My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

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.

I think yes.

I am a millennial that grew up with the internet and built my own PC when I was young. And I'm certain that I will be outdated by technology. There definitely are certain things that I just don't give a shit about and as I get older those things are going to compound. As someone that pays attention and tends to keep up with things that I feel are worth keeping up with while simultaneously feeling left behind on some aspects. My peers of whom do not attend to keep up at all are bound to a weird future that they know little to nothing about. As I certainly will, to a degree.

You can already see millennials shying away from newer things Gen Z is into. Like TikTok. I think it's an inevitability.

Bro I know how to use it, I just think it's stupid, exploitative malware.

Yes, of course, lol. It will just be a tech that hasn't been invented yet.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes I think so, I'm already seeing young people helping their millenial parents with their phones.

I am that person and yes, I have little patience for a lot of the new tech. See: Discord
