I think you're under the false impression that older people feel the same urge to follow trends. Your uncle doesn't know terms like "rumble", "IRC" or "torrent" because it doesn't affect his life. The battle for shelf space will have already had to be decided well before the "old people" catch on.

By your reasoning, Blu-Ray will win, because all you have to do is tell old people that they can have every Starsky & Hutch episode on one disc.
