In a similar vein desks are now covered in speakers, USB drives, monitors, laptops etc which all have a lifecycle just as the Rolodex and card holder became obsolete.

These items are also harder to produce and have, at least in my eyes, shorter product life

Speaker technology (analog) interface has not really changed since 1930 or so.

Monitors are newer, but you still see analog VGA ports and in TV, composite connectors.

It is the new digital interfaces that face obsolescence.
