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.

Absolutely. I work in IT. Some millennial are just as bad, if not worse than the boomers. If things aren't EXACTLY what they expect or they are used to their brains short circuit and they can't do anything. Like the button just moved to another menu dropdown Deborah, put in 20 seconds of effort and you would find it.
