I think it's because we're living science "fiction". One text message has more memory than the computer used to put men on the moon, we're talking about floating cities on Venus, sending missions to Europa, mining asteroids, we have 3D printers that are revolutionizing medicine, computers are helping the blind see, etc. I think people just don't see a need for it when we live in a world of scientific wonders. My dad is in his 60s and was always a genre reader and his face lights up when we talk about what's going on.
