As someone who has worked with windows, mice, menu bars, etc. all his life, I hope the way we design software WILL NOT change as I age. I am _happy_ with old-fashioned menu bars listing all the options that are available to me, using words I can read and comprehend. What good is it to have a 'hamburger menu' if you are on a 4K screen, and all the space to the left of that menu is wasted on a vast emptiness (looking angrily at you, Thunderbird!)?
I don't want incomprehensible icons everywhere. If you want those, why not just mark everything in Chinese? Chinese characters are not harder to comprehend than the unimaginative collection of spheres, wavy lines, dots, etc. that we get now, and at least you learn a new language while attempting to learn to work with the app!
