All of these are alive and well.
Digital may be better than VHS, but a VHS tape is more durable in many applications and is still widely used.
Fax machines are everywhere. In the end, digital receipt and storage of faxes is not catching on in many places because the fax machine is so much cheaper and people still want those hard copies when it comes through.
Long live the magnetic strip. Embedded chips are still quite new.
Incandescent is still current technology. Government mandate to stop using them is unpopular and inconvenient for many applications where CF technology can't provide a comparable service.
