As a sidebar to my Timeline article which I announced yesterday (altho new thoughts are coming in: VT-100 nostalgia, for example): I sent the URL to a bunch of old friends from Harvard grad school days. As I am 61, they too are 60ish. A bunch of e-addresses are bouncing back, as No Such User, etc. So this is how old scholars fade away as they retire, etc. Their e-addresses are the first to go. Sounds like a study for someone.
