      Not really, technology keeps progressing, and a bunch of things they were dependent on (as well as us older millennials), are already obsolete if not on the way out (there are some nostalgia comebacks, but almost always with updarted tech)…

        Meanwhile, the main gripe I hear from my Gen-X friends is “the kiddos” lack of grasp of the inner workings of the technology they rely on. Granted, my social circles have little in common with those found in more rural settings, but not a single one of the people I know over forty-five has a problem understanding the latest technology and the basic concepts of its inner workings.
