I don't think we can know if that's true or not.
Younger people have been more tech-savvy because they grew up with the technology whereas the older generations had to learn stuff that wasn't around when they were young.
Depending on how tech changes in the future, that could well be the case again. We already know that in thirty years the industry will be SO different to what it is now, will everything be a massive scaling up of what we already know, or will new technology arrive that the new younger-generations will grow up with while we'll be growing old shouting "I REMEMBER WHEN..." - only time will tell.
