Phones don’t have “dials” anymore either.
We could probably sit down and come up with many linguistic anachronisms in common use today.
As long as people know what they mean, what difference does it make? Language evolves out of language.
...or cameras film.
Here’s something fun.
Phone lines used to be actual wires going into the home. The range of frequencies they could carry will minimal loss is from 300—3000 Hz (many times called 3kHz flat).
Now, a dial tone was 90 Hz which had high loss and shouldn’t have been able to be heard but the dial tone’s strength ‘sounded’ so loud. How come?
The human ear is also a nonlinear mixer which can take multiple tones and produce the sum and difference products that can be discerned by the hearer. So the real ‘dial tone’ was TWO TONES - one at 250Hz and the other at 340Hz - the difference being 90Hz which the hearer discerns.....
And we still talk about video in terms of “tape.”
