Are old people stupid or just decaying?

Did grandma ask you a question about her Hewlett Packard again, NEET?

This is not exclusive to old people. There are younger people who just cannot learn to use technology and it all lies in the learning part.

When learning things, you will find it easier to learn other things at the same time. Like how people learning a foreign language can learn another quickly.
Once you stop learning you will find it hard to learn again.
Old people just havent learnt anything in so long that they stick out as the worst of them all.

Learning new skills becomes increasingly difficult as your brain ages. The neurons just don't want to flip states as readily.

That said, in 2050 a lot of people will be very good at using a desktop. The problem is, the desktop form factor of computing will be long gone and the skill useless and disused. Their grandkids will wonder if they are stupid, too.

I could whip your spring chicken behind at programming a VCR right now but as the skill serves no purpose, you'll never get to marvel at my domination of seemingly arcane buttons on a remote control the size of a sub sandwich.
