Related to this, I wonder how the average age of HN readership has changed over time.
My guess is it has shifted towards an older audience continually since the beginning. To that end what new things are "against the order of things" today.

I still open to new things I just more critical and skeptical - I want some evidence that the change will be positive.

May be it has shifted but it seems to me NH audience on average still younger than me and more excited about new stuff.
There are downsides but personally I think it is pretty cool to read the expert opinion of people completely outside my body of knowledge, Farmers, Neurologists, Chemical Engineers, etc.
An engineer in their 20's keeps trying to get me to learn Lisp.
I think they meant the age you feel, not the amount of times the earth spun about the sun while you were around :)
