This is a list of obsolete technology, superseded by newer technologies. Obsolescence is defined as the "transition from available to unavailable from the manufacturer in accordance with the original specification." [1] Newer technologies can mostly be considered as disruptive innovation. Many older technologies co-exist with newer alternatives ...
