Answer: Banks
Explanation: Banks are a great example of why “old” technology doesn’t necessarily mean worthless technology. Mainframe computing dates back more than 60 years, yet modern descendants of those systems still sit at the heart of many banks because they’re extremely reliable and capable of processing enormous volumes of transactions.
