I definitely see a change in me with age - when I was young I assumed everything newer is better by default and even disregarded evidence that newer is worse. Change for the sake of change was fun for me even if it was a regression at the end. I've tried as much of new software/technologies as I could and it helped me to become a professional but I would not trust a younger self to make business decisions - I would waste too much money on playing with new stuff.

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

> 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.

May be it has shifted but it seems to me NH audience on average still younger than me and more excited about new stuff.
