This could just be me, but I get the impression that people are getting access to fandom younger and younger. I mean, I'm only 21, but I'm still surprised when I see someone online who's under 16 or so, as I'd never even heard of the concept before then (and wasn't really able to get involved until I got my own computer at 18).

I think the rise in social networking sites are also a big factor-- they've created a kind of "tipping point"(Gladwell, anyone?) for younger kids to get an internet presence, and from there to get into fandom. Even though it seems like facebook has been around forever, it's really only been a few years, and it only became available for people not in college in, I believe, 2006. (I know there were plenty of networking sites before then, but I don't think they were quite so mainstream. I could be wrong, though.)

I don't know. I've been involved with online fandom in some shape or form since I was 13 - and I'm 28. I think it's just the type of people the kids are (sports-oriented or more likely to want to stay inside), how much tech access they have, and what type of home environment they come from. Not to mention whether they're already geek inclined - I mean, I talked my parents into taking me to a Star Trek convention before I was 10.

I think it's more that fandom is now a whole lot easier for people who aren't, well, the type of baby geek I was, to find. It's no longer something you have to specifically seek out. Which also means that a lot of younger fans aren't sticking around for decades like they used to. Those of us who are basically lifers are no longer the dominant force in newer fandoms.
