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.

A lot of children are of the type “a smart horse only jumps as high as it needs”.
For example, when they have a calculator, they won’t ever use their head to calculate anymore. The most simple additions etc, will go to the calculator. You can talk till you are gray and old how important basic calculation skills are. Instead, you need to take away / restrict the calculator.
The same goes for computers and other stuff. Create some artificial hurdles and they will learn.
