"I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."

Your parents' generation probably think a number of things that you use every day are "impossibly silly".

Not wanting to take away from any excuse to quote Douglas Adams, I think what they meant by "born 40 yrs too late" is that they are young(ish) and feel that being around 40yrs earlier would've suited them better.

Either that or it's Thursday, I could never get the hang of Thursdays.
