  I don't really view it as an age things - for one, I still consider myself a "kid", and second, past a certain minimum age we have a mix of experiences and any of us is "the noob" in a given situation. It is, however, a bit of a generational experience. If you grew up using card catalogs and learning to spell from a dictionary (?!), your relationship with knowing/not knowing will be different than someone who grew up with the Web always around and accessible. I think it was Agatha Christie who said of her childhood "I couldn't imagine being so rich as to have a car nor so poor as to not have servants".
