Has the nature of fandom changed? I don't think the book fans have changed radically, though I only knew a handful before finding the Downs.
If so, has it been a good change? It is a bit of frighteningly diverse and large crowd these days!
Have the numbers of fans increased? In view of the movies, I think so.
Will we all still be rabid fans in 10 years time? 20 years? Speaking for myself, I know I'm still the same fan I was 20+ years ago, and plan to be for 20+ more.
The internet has been a wonderful tool for finding information and so forth, but I'm not fond of the commercialism that has been introduced in RL.
