There's this weird dichotomy in tech: we're heavily fad-driven and obsessed with the latest, newest, cool, hip "stuff" on one hand, but on the other hand, no old tech ever really dies. Or at least, it take a LONG time to completely die.
So basically, any tech more than about 4 years old is in this weird zombie state where it isn't dead, but isn't "what the cool kids use" anymore.
