I agree  with Charles.

I'm approaching 60 myself and am fine with just email (don't even own or use a cell phone - why be on call 24/7?).  Too much else to do besides checking everything imaginable to see if someone wants to reach you.  My students know to use email.  I think most of them have already forgotten what gastropod mail is, though.  It's pretty sad.

Miguel,

From my perspective there are too many ways to connect and all they do is
distract me from things that I wish to do. I am a member of COA and AMS. I
follow postings on Conch-L and a few other lists. I can be reached by
e-mail and snail mail. I am also on ResearchGate and LinkedIn. Any more
than this and I will decompensate.

I am not on Facebook, I do not text message or twitter. I'm from the older
generation (60yo) who likes to pick up a phone and call someone and not
text them.

This explanation may hold for other 'older' malacologists/conchologists as
well.
