Tapes? Who uses tapes?

Who actually "dials" a phone today? How often do you hear about news "footage"? Why do people talk about "filming" an event? Does "wire tapping" still involve attaching a monitor device to a physical phone line?

But people still use those terms, often without even knowing how they originated.

Technology evolves faster than the language does.
