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 a developer as well, but I think we're comparing professional literacy to general user literacy. I think we should be fine save some new form factor (idk, fucking AR, I guess?) or paradigm that upends UI design in our 60s

I think the biggest risk to me falling behind on that shit is just general disinterest or cost barriers, like with VR
