Amusingly for the security information processors in the US (which handle US Equity consolidated quote and trade data) the trade feed is still referred to as the tape (one of the two governing bodies is called the Consolidated Tape Association). Securities are still associated by which ‘tape’ their trades print on (really which one of the two SIPs the trades will be found on).

standard terminology remains standard
Sometimes. We still say 'terminals' (or pedantically 'terminal emulators') but we no longer 'dial up' webpages, we started 'loading' them instead.
anyone who said "dial-up" web pages didn't know how they worked.
