Obsolete means to no longer be produced or used... These things are not obsolete.
They aren't cool / widely used but definitely not obsolete if half the worlds financial systems still run on them.
- dtech 8y agoFrom merriam webster: 1a : no longer in use or no longer useful // an obsolete word b : of a kind or style no longer current : old-fashioned // an obsolete technology A good example is a satellite, lots of older (obsolete model) satellites are still in orbit and performing well, and replacing them is not worth the cost. But if a new satellite is needed the newest model will be send up, not the obsolete model.
