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 am hoping to check the fuck out from it

I always want to become a Luddite, but the dopamine is too strong and I like gadgets too much.

I don’t use discord or matrix so I’m probably already behind.

Yes. Absolutely 100% yes. I meet people my age who have comparable tech skills to my grandpa. This is not related to age, its related to how much work you put into your devices.

I think yes.

I am a millennial that grew up with the internet and built my own PC when I was young. And I'm certain that I will be outdated by technology. There definitely are certain things that I just don't give a shit about and as I get older those things are going to compound. As someone that pays attention and tends to keep up with things that I feel are worth keeping up with while simultaneously feeling left behind on some aspects. My peers of whom do not attend to keep up at all are bound to a weird future that they know little to nothing about. As I certainly will, to a degree.

Yes I think so, I'm already seeing young people helping their millenial parents with their phones.
