RETRONYMS II

Retronyms are words that have been coined to describe old products that have been replaced by newer, higher-tech ones. For example, the term "brick and mortar" is needed to distinguish what has always been called a store - occupying a building of some kind -  from the influx of on-line shopping sites.
