Each generation will be OK with the tools they grew up with.
I think of my now-deceased grandparents. They had to be closely monitored to avoid falling for mail-in scams, of all things. They were old enough that mail was a trusted source of information in their upbringing.
I like to think about what will tip us over, as technologists. Venturing into sci-fi a little, I think brain-computer interfaces are going to be impossible for us to adapt to, if they ever arrive. Imagine spam thoughts. We're not trained to ignore intrusive thoughts. But I agree we might just not be able to handle a website that constantly shifts its content to keep us engaged, blurring fact and fiction into the perfect narrative to keep you clicking.

The scams we all know-and-love from our e-mail mailboxes today: romance-scams, advance-fee fraud, pyramid-schemes, and more, were all prevalent in the physical mail in decades past.
