It's almost certainly the case that learning precision dexterity early in life is far easier than later. There are neurophysiological reasons why it's easier to learn certain skills earlier in life.
That being said, this is just one guy's opinion, not a true motor behavioral study. The impulse to blame the "kids these days" seems like an ever-present force, so I wouldn't place too much emphasis on this without a proper study of precision dextrous manipulation across age cohorts.
