I think that many of our symbols are perpetually behind the times.  When I was a child in the 
1950s, I remember seeing comic-strip police officers wearing star-shaped badges and helmet-
like hats and cars that looked like something out of the 1920s.  Dagwood wore garters to 
hold up his socks.  Mutt & Jeff were wearing white gloves well into the 1960s or 70s, and 
Mickey Mouse still wears them.  

Vinyl disks are still used for some purposes for special effects by modern rock bands, and I 
think today's kids probably know what they are.
