Your question reminded me of an interesting article I read a while back: Gen Z Is Apparently Baffled by Basic Technology.
It's kind of a click bait title, but I think it's still interesting. Technology is definitely generational, and I'm sure there are some things millennials will be better prepared to use in old age, but there will likely be lots of new tech that will be a struggle to learn.
I feel the've gotten too much of a streamlined experience compared to what millenials grew up with, who had to be able to do a lot more bugfixing to get things to work the way we wanted to.
Definitely. I feel very lucky to have been able to experience it all. I wonder if my personality would have led me to it anyway but I guess my personality was shaped by growing up through it. Would I be as curious otherwise?
