Depends on the type of immortality. If we can fight typical aging processes, then a big part of the problem you state would go away. Old brains don't learn and think as fast as young ones do, this has purely to do with ageing and cell/dna defects over time. Old people are not hyped by AI and new tech, because most of them don't understand them and i think this has much to do with the reason stated.

Not to say there is not a possible psychological problem for us when living forever, it just cannot be researched right now because, you know, we tend to die. Let alone the implications.. insurance, prison sentences, housing, population and control of it...

You could also argue that old people are not hyped by AI and new tech because they have been through so many hype cycles, and seen so much in general, that they know that things come and go, and tech advances, but the really important things in life never change

So not lack of understanding, more that they see through the hype

Pretty cool if you ask me
