I'm JUST over 40 and learned to touch type on a computer, but I still normally use two spaces. I didn't even know that this wasn't "correct" anymore until a few years ago, but I haven't yet been able to curb the habit. The one thing that is STARTING to push me in that direction is using Twitter, where removing those extra spaces can make a big difference in being able to communicate a thought more fully...
