An interesting question for them then would be, "Do you expect to still be using LJ or something like it when you are the age your parents are now?".
I'm very interested in seeing how/if the demographic spread shifts over time, whether the teenage spike represents a transient fad or instead a wave of early adopters to a medium that will become mainstream. Considering that many of "us older folks" started using email well before AOL ever existed, and would have been equally surprised at discovering our parents having email addresses, perhaps Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose?
