ericadawn16A month or two ago, I mentioned to someone about a study where people tend to hate things after 35 which explained the anger towards the female Ghostbusters and such...
It turns out I remembered it all wrong. It wasn't a study. It was Douglas Adams. It's still true though, just put kickass females in place of technologies:
“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

Must have something to do with growing up watching X-Files, Profiler, etc ;)
No, no it wasn't because I also watched The X-Files, Profiler, all the various NBC/CBS/whatever crime shows, Buffy, Angel, Prime Suspect, A Touch of Frost, I really loved Touching Evil, my oldest brother would insist on watching Tales from the Crypt and the other brother loved the Nightmare on Elm Street series Fox had for a while...it gave me nightmares but I'd lie and say it didn't. Then, in college, they started Nip/Tuck and I watched all of those.
