I was also playing Devil's Advocate against another point which I
didn't state (but believe), which is that such old technologies can
have cultural significance even if the technology has been totally
superceded. Example: Shobana Jeyasingh has just commissioned a dance
soundtrack from Jango Bates which is composed around, and includes,
Morse Code excerpts.

Agreed.
