Can't tell if the OP is being sarcastic. Just want to point out that "Tik Tok" is the sound an analog clock makes - which is also obsolete technology - except for the odd grandfather clock.

It's closer to the sound of a metronome, which is pretty fitting and likely where the name originated.

People are still more likely to come across a ticking clock than a film reel.

Most places I go to will still have an analog clock in multiple rooms.
