I wonder sometimes what would be the oldest extant word based on technology no longer in use. Taping an interview? Dialing someone? https://twitter.com/hels/status/679059633949011970 …

…What are you saying is a “tiny exception” here? There were $416 million in vinyl sales in the US in 2015: http://fortune.com/2016/04/16/vinyl-sales-record-store-day/ … There are big-name, multiple-disc releases every week: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=mh_s9_acss_cg_vnyl24a_3b1_w?rh=i%3Apopular%2Cn%3A5174%2Cp_n_binding_browse-bin%3A387647011%2Cp_n_date%3A1249114011&bbn=5174&sort=salesrank … Still, though: The word doesn’t even come from records or photos.

I'd totally forgotten the word predates audio recordings. I had only thought of it because of why we use it for just one disc. But we still use the older version in the term "photo album".
