It's the senescence that makes the fall, more or less, inevitable. Warren Buffet wrote about it in his final letter to shareholders [1] : "When balance, sight, hearing and memory are all on a persistently downward slope, you know Father Time is in the neighborhood."

I sometimes wonder if VR is ever successful, perhaps in the 2050s, some of the idleness will be less of an issue.
The lack of movement rather than rich stimulation might remain the issuem I look forward to a study if there hasn't been one yet.
