What is to stop the scientists using usenet now? Then it won't be replaced.

In the typewriter days people were taught to put a space in front of the
sentence terminator (question mark, exclamation mark, full stop).

People find ways to communicate, somehow. Why, I remember my house tutor at
school used to receive 15-20 letters a day from people he communicated with
on all sorts of abstruse matters, mainly relating to classical Greek and
Latin. He would probably have preferred to use wax tablets and a stylus than
a pen and paper, but hey ho! The modern world.
