Technology that is: outdated (such as the: 8-track)/no longer used at all (such as theβ€”β€”telegraph). Not all old technology belongs here - for example, while vinyl records were replaced by, audio cassettes and CDs in the 1980s, they are making comeback as a physical format as non-physical formats have made the "CD." And cassette obsolete, while vinyl is slowly becoming more common again (see vinyl revival for details).

Another example is an analog watch; though digital watches are a newer technology, "they have not entirely replaced traditional watches." Because of the aesthetic. Or functional value of the original.
