I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

Same as the other commenter, I was born in 1990. I type fast, and more accurately than one would think looking at my technique, but that just happened through sheer time and exposure. I basically had to relearn how to type when I switched to ergonomic split keyboards. And having gravitated around tech related circles, and having been the defacto tech guy around me since the early/mid noughties, I'd say most people are pretty inept with computers and only know how to do the basics of what they need to know, for the most part. Most don't know how to type properly or how to efficiently search on Google. I don't think it's a new phenomenon.
