Dialing a phone is not outdated!
“Dial” is simply an acronym for “digitally initiate audio link.” I’m surprised you smart people didn’t know that.
Years from now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see people sincerely believing such things…
Pretty cool backronym you made up.
Actually I still have, and occasionally use, a dial phone with a real ringer. And I sold my 1990 Honda with a roll-down window only three years ago. I consider a CD, DVD, etc. as a “record”, since it is. I still have a VCR since I have some old prerecorded tapes.
I prefer a roll-down window at least on the drivers side, as it is less prone to breakage. I slightly prefer electric windows on the other sides as they can be opened by the driver easier. I only have electric windows on my car because it came with it.
I see so many people in the past couple years at drive-thrus that have to open their doors just to give their order. I assume it’s because the only cars they could find had electric window rollers, and they broke, and they can’t afford to get them fixed.
You didn’t use to see this even just a decade or so ago, because the default was then manual rollers, and those who can’t afford to get an electric window fixed would naturally buy a car with manual rollers because it was cheaper.
People still say “typing,” though few people use an actual typewriter anymore. A 10 year once watched me using my old IBM Selectric II in fascination and remarked “That is so cool! You can actually see what you’re typing!” And a 4 year asked me in all seriousness “Is that a typewriter?”
Most cameras have a setting to control what sound if any the camera makes upon shutter activation. The usual default is the old shutter click, but it can easily be made a beep or silent. Most folks never change the default settings. Mine also has a dog barking and a bird chirping.
I wish I could claim I made it up, but I heard it on NPR many years ago. What I particularly like is the double-entendre: “digitally” referring both to numbers and fingers.
I didn’t even think about that, but it is pretty clever.
It’s not fake on a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera, though it’s not the sound of the shutter: it’s the sound of the mirror being moved out of the way, so that light from the lens goes to the sensor rather than to the viewfinder.
Around Nashville, we still refer to a record deal, even though they’ve not been on vinyl for years. The term isn’t really outmoded; it refers to a recording contract.
You’ve got it easy. At least you still don’t say you have to chisel out a document! 
We “drive” cars.
Typing has nothing to do with typewriters: You could type on a Linotype machine, for example, or on a Baudot machine (five-bit code, one for each finger), or on an adding machine.
Will you elaborate please?
@Derleth: It doesn’t anymore, but the relevant sense of the word did derive from “type” as in a block carved into the shape of a letter, as in a printing press or a typewriter, but not a modern computer.
@Nobody: “drive” etymologically means “push” (as in, exert force on from behind), and is presumably applied to cars by way of its being the verb used when one forced beasts of labor in front of one’s carriage to move forward.
Actually, the world “typewriter” originally was the young lady who typed at the machine.
DSLRs still have a focal-plane shutter that moves and makes noise too. If you lock up your mirror you can hear the shutter move.
I predict that in a few decades time, when Cecil has grown old and forgetful, this will be cited in a Straight Dope column as evidence of this origin.
Cite?
The story I heard was that Scholes made up the word because he thought “writing machine” was too dull.* Of course, the word might have been used for both the machine and the typist.
*Although “word processor” is even worse, IMHO.
