Found this in a short story written by Cory Doctorow. Did Adams really say this? It's a great concept. I was thinking it sort of explains the attitude of gamers toward the X-box, Kinnect, other innovations, though I'm not sure the gamers in question are actually over 35.
"But you know what Douglas Adams said: everything invented before you were born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything after your fifteenth birthday is new and exciting and revolutionary. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things. "
