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.

There's actually a regression where millennial who grew up with pc are still the best at it gen z is as bad as boomers. If it's not an app or website they are lost at even the smallest issue.
I notice this way more today with my job. The people we used to hire for computer support would know most of the things they were supposed to. Today most of the people we hire it seems like they can only follow a script or SOP and that's it, basic troubleshooting or logic just goes out the window. It's super sad... and even worse having to manage them.
Edit: I also don't think it helps that they only get to deal with systems that have been made so user friendly anymore that most options to do anything are just built in or a command away so they really never deal with any of the stuff underneath to figure out how systems run.
I constantly think of the ObiWan meme. They were supposed to be the chosen ones. They were supposed to be better with tech, not worse.
Just like there are exceptions to all boomers being bad at tech, there is definitely are exceptions to the gen z thing as well and I hope I am one of those exceptions.
