My best recollection is that I started watching Trek right as it went into syndication in the very early 70's. I am 46.
What age is the average trekker?

Seems like I'm one of the younger ones...I'm 16. 
I started watching Voyager around 5 or 6, and slowly got into the other Treks as time went on.

Im 25, I started watching it when I was about 12
I'm 32 and also started around the age of 12 with TOS reruns.
well, I turn 21 next week as a matter of fact, and have been watching trek since around middle school.
I was flipping around television, and happened upon Star Trek IV. I liked it, and started watching the more Dramatic TOS. I was a causal TOS fan for some time, and then one day I was tooling around Wal mart looking for a movie and decided to try Star Trek II.....
I was blown away.....
and that started my true descent into Trekdom. from then on I've been a diehard. I quickly got into TNG and DS9, and collected those three shows and the ten films on DVD over my high school and freshman year of college. Never did care for Voyager and enerprise. They were okay, but nothing I felt compelled to get really into
Still a huge fan, and have converted the girlfriend as well. when you have a girlfriend who forbids you from watching DS9 with other women because "that's our thing" you've got it made

I'm 48. I remember arguing with another kid about the color of Spock's blood when I was about age 8.
Sounds like you're from around the same generation I was when I started watching Trek. I first saw TNG when I was 12. I'm now 26.
I am 24 and really started watching Star Trek when I was 10. It was a great time to be introduced to this universe. TNG had just finished and was already being repeated on BBC2 and Sky 1. DS9 was finding it's feet properly, Voyager was starting and Generations came out.
I still love Star Trek and as a child and a teenager it was always there for me in a way that none of my 'friends' ever were. It helped me gain the confidence to be myself and not hide behind a shield of shyness and quietness. For that I am grateful and am sure that when I am 70 it will still mean a lot to me

I'm 20, have been watching Trek since I was born pretty much, TNG was staple in my family.
Also and honest to goodness, my earliest memory is of seeing Star Trek VI in theatre... yeah.
I sure hope there's other trekkers out there around my age... would kind of defeat my plan of marrying one

Don't dispair there are Trekkers of all ages 'out there' or you could do what I did and convert from scratch. My wife had watched barely any Sci-fi she's now seen all ST:TOS, DS9 most of TNG, All the movies and also is now addicted to x-files, is a Star Wars fan, has seen all B5, Battlestar Galactica- you get the point!
