I wonder what other artefacts like that we have.

I'm sure some streamers use "Tune in", which refers to radio dialing.

"Dashboard" means a whole lot of things, but originally meant a board on a carriage that prevents mud from being "dashed" up to the passengers by horses (I think).

Uh..."meal" is literally a kind of grain that most people probably don't eat regularly at all, let alone 3x a day.

"Hanging up" the phone, as well as the icon for phon4 calls being a latter 20th century corded handset shape.
