Well, I knew plenty of people when I was that age who were interested in

I suppose it's that which seems to have been eroded over time; today people
will see something that they think is cool for all of five minutes, before
moving on to something else.
You expect
people in 50 years time to care about anything that happened 50
years ago? The current generation seem to think of last week as ancient
history :-(
Yeah, just like you and me and everyone else when we were 14.
People grown to like history.
