I'm fairly positive it's coming from experiences derived from grandparents and old people who tend to not be technologically adept, even if they're otherwise just as smart and capable as when you were young.

I think Steve has more motivation than most elderly people do, since he doesn't have a stable home life that doesn't require newfound gadgetry. He very much needs to adapt, so he will.

I think both sides have a fair point--it's extremely difficult to guess how someone coming from an era as different as WWII suddenly moved to the present day (in fact, an even more advanced present day than what we currently have) would actually respond. Not being able to adapt might be feasible.

I think ILU for this very balanced response--- because both sides do have a point. And also, Steve's learning curve is almost certainly going to look different from that of people who lived through the intervening technological changes--- whether it's going to be steeper (because general WTF) or gentler (because he can just go, "Yeah, stranger in a strange land, gotta learn new things from scratch" instead of trying to make new tech fit rules learned on its recent but different ancestors).

In the Avengers universe there were plasma weapons and shit in WWII, so I think Steve's got a leg up for tech stuff.

Also, his brain is the brain of a 26 year old, not an elderly person, so that'll help.
