I would submit that the Super Bowl cuts across a huge range of age demographics and all of them are healthily represented.
I won't disagree that live streaming is the future (or at least "a future"), and I actually expect the Internet and TV (and the devices that support them) to merge as mediums eventually.
But let's not put the cart before the horse.

That's 1.5 million legit and accounted for viewers.
How many people streamed the game through other means/sources?
Plus I'm not sure the Super Bowl is a good example since the game is available everywhere so streaming wasn't as necessary. Many who would've normally streamed were out at SB parties and bars. Plus millions of people with OTA antennas could catch the game in beautiful HD - that's how I watched it.
