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

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.
Yes, of course, lol. It will just be a tech that hasn't been invented yet.
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 And I'm certain that I will be outdated by technology.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.

I fear I am already getting there.
No
I am that person and yes, I have little patience for a lot of the new tech. See: Discord
