Be down with the kids

I was talking to an English friend of mine the other day and he said' I'm down with the kids when it comes to all this technological jiggery-pokery! '

What exactly does 'be down with the kids' mean? Is it an idiomatic expression? I tried googling for it but it didn't help

It's an expression used by old farts who think they've still got it, much to the amusement of any "kids" they claim to be "down with".

It is an expression that means being able to relate to the kids or understand their point of view

Down with the kids
