Lets take an example, the LP well that was doomed as the CD came to in the 1980's and guess what? They are flurising and becoming big again, Go figure.
What about the layout of keyboards. Garbled up so manual typewriters could keep the writing pace down for the return of keys. Guess what noone has used a manual typewriter since the 1970's and yet noone has redesigned the humble keyboard to make typing saster. A lot have tried but they have all failed. Go figure.
Why are numericanl keyboards different on calculators ws. telephones and will keep on being different? Because phones with keys instead of the rotating disk still operated on analogue switches and needed to spit out the clicks for each number and thus operators could type a number way faster then the switch could understand. Well that problem went away in the 1980's but yet we still have ATM's and phones where the keys are switched. Go figure.
A lot of the technology deemed nearly obsolete here will strive on for many years.
