What you describe isn't "growing up" (not to say your tastes aren't maturing), but a revolution in the way information is disseminated; the fact that we even can self-direct our entertainment choices to the extent we now can is exciting and, if you're part of the old entertainment industry, terrifying beyond words. The internet creates so many new entertainment choices and ways to find and consumer those choices that it's becoming as likely that someone will sit in front of their computer as their TV.
Edit
Sorry about the above - the book I recently picked up (Too Big to Know) has sunk barbed hooks deep into my brain. So ya, my posts will probably be insufferable for the week or so.
