Technology and age

So I have been wondering about something for a while now. Sometimes very difficult to teach an older person how to do something new with technology - like how to add an attachment to an email or open a text message on a cell phone. And that very same thing is probably very intuitive to someone of the younger generation. Well.... what I have been wondering is this:

in about 30 or 40 years, will the people who are now young and are adapting quickly to new technology quite easily, be in the same situation as the current older generation who didn't have technology so integrated into everyday life when they grew up? Or will we be more easily able to understand and accept new technology since we are accustomed to technology in general?

This would be a very good Psychology/Technology/Learning study and research topic. How does adaptability to technology now affect individual learning and adaptability when new technology emerges in future decades?

I am open for discussion. And, yay!, I wrote on my blog. I think next time I will write about the birds and the bees. :)
