<p>Digital computers have existed since at least 1945 (ENIAC). That&#39;s 78 years ago. The pace of change in computing is remarkably fast, and it&#39;s unusual to have things that have existed for a long time. Here&#39;s a few that have been used for at least 50 years (i.e., they existed in 1973), even if they&#39;ve changed over time and the original version may not be compatible with the modern world:</p><p>* 3.5 mm TRS audio plug (1950s)<br />* ASCII (1963)<br />* EBCDIC (1963)<br />* C (1972)</p><p>Can you think of others?</p>
