To this day, some software engineers, when referring to a line of code in a computer program, still call it a card. The term dates back to when each line of a program was literally printed (and mechanically hole-punched) on its own physical card.
Your program back then was called a stack, because it consisted of a physical stack of cards that was fed into a card reader machine. You still hear that term today too, as in "Try resetting your TCP/IP stack."

People still talk about 'taping' when they record something.
It's actually quite sobering to think that Ayla is SEVEN. Time's fugitin' on.

Black-and-white television.

"Wind my watch"
"Set the clock" (since many clocks now set themselves...)
"Hang up the phone" (as many phones are no cellphones, with nothing to hang up, just a button to end a call)
And humorously...
"Turn the TV off" (good luck finding buttons on these new fucking TV's; I have to unplug ones to turn them off)

When I record a TV program on my planner (in my case a Tivo) I still find myself saying I've taped it, people still seem to know what I'm talking about.

"Punch the clock" (since many emplyers are dropping card-punch clocks and doing computer sign-in systems, or dropped them for the newer [now older] credit card ID's that you swipe)
Tell that to newer generations, and they'll ask why you want to punch the clock -- what has it ever done to you?
"Stop the tape"
"Stop the presses!" (well, that's where many newspapers are headed -- outdated by technology that allows them to go online and still "appeal" to their reduced consumer base)
"Burn a copy"
In the one future if you say that to newer generations, they'll get the fire department. ;-)
