Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology?

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.

I'm an elder millennial. While I'm good on my computer use, cars are starting to get too advanced for me to repair myself. Eventually, I'll have an electric car and be entirely dependent on a mechanic to repair the vehicle.

"Elder millennial."

That phrase. That phrase scares me. The oldest millennials are apparently 42 years old according to some random website I found. Not quite elder, but still making me feel like time is going too fast.

Yep, I'm right on the edge of that cutoff, so I like to note it since apparently people born in the 90s can be considered millennials.
