On the web it is essential to keep in mind that everything is on movement. Your landmarks are short-lived because there are always new technologies, new gadgets, new websites that are invented and created.
When you read your newspaper you are expecting some frames that are more or less always the same. Thus you never feel lost when you are in front of a newspaper even if there are sometimes small changes.
Nevertheless, on the web it is all the contrary. Common frames and landmarks don't exist. Look at websites like Facebook or Twitter and more generally to the famous "web 2.0". Nobody was able to imagine these kind of websites 10 years ago.
It is the same with newspaper websites. They are always changing the layout and they propose frequently some new gagdets. For example Liberation or Le Figaro change generally their layout each year. Internet user can feel lost in front of this abundance of innovation and of movement.
New generations are used to this kind of impermanence, of constant evolution and they know that they have to break their habits but for older generation it is not so easy.
In this way, can we say that there is a barier of age on the web ?
Besides, just for fun you can listen to Linkin Park's famous song :
