Ok - my quick take on this:

These days, lots of technology has come down to a price point where young and old can readily afford it. Cell phones and personal computers are really affordable these days. Also - if you consider technology which resides on the interwebs, like Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites, well - it is really cheap to embrace that technology, especially

However, there is some technology that is still quite pricey for the common consumer: Digital SLR cameras, high end audio and video equipment (LED-LCD flatscreens) and the like.

So - I believe there are now two categories of technology -- affordable technology, and more expensive technology.

It seems that those who are "younger but have no financial means" and those who are "young enough not to remember but with financial means" are the ones that embrace the "affordable" technology, and those you are "young with financial means" as well as those "old enough to remember" are embracing the more expensive technologies.

So the technological landscape has changed, and the lines between the three groupings described in the original quote have been blurred quite a but, but I believe that the largest consumers of technology remains those who are young enough to not remember but with financial means - since they both embrace the cheaper technology and the more expensive.

In my opinion,
