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.

Yes.
Of course, there will be a range in all generations from those who ignore technology altogether and who will inevitably be bad at it, to those who keep on top of every change and continue to be skilled users of that technology.
I don't see why there would be a difference from one generation to the next. The proportions might be different: boomers and GenX who saw this stuff come in later in life and who know there is more to life than technology might be more inclined to spend their time away from that tech than later generations that grew up with this stuff. Or maybe the later generations will want to get away from it and rediscover nature.
I suspect that if and when retirement happens I'll (GenX) be spending a lot of time away from computers.
I have similar plans, but more targeted at my phone. It's been my nemesis for most of my career and I can't wait to relegate it to the sock drawer for 90+% of the day.
Oh wow, in my retirement (which is many decades away), I hope I can spend as much time with computers as possible!
