When couples struggle with different tech comfort levels

My partner is incredibly tech-savvy and wants to automate everything in our house while I can barely figure out the new TV remote, and we keep having this same fight where they get frustrated trying to teach me and I feel stupid and we both end up more disconnected than before. We love each other but it's like we're living in different centuries and I don't know how to bridge this gap without losing myself or making them feel like they have to dumb down their whole world.
