I know that when I'm old (assuming I get that far) the last thing I'm

Then you will age mentally very quickly indeed.

But be unlikely to care :-)

Seriously though, I'll always have plenty to keep my brain busy - but I'd
see a complete change in the way of doing things, with no evident benefit
to me, as an utter waste of time.

Knowing that I likely only had a few years left, and (assuming no computer
knowledge), why would I want to learn what computer to buy, how to use the
'net, how to use the OS, how to actually do financial things online - all
to do something that had always been quick and easy in the past? There are
much more rewarding things to be investing time, money and brainpower on.

Like how to carry on watching TV once they turn off the analogue
transmissions?

At least they'll stop watching East Enders.
