The disadvantage of using old technologies is that it can affect your business. Here are some of the disadvantages of using old technologies in business:

Old technology is slow and inefficient. For example, you may have to wait for your computer to load before you can use it. In addition, you will not be able to access files quickly and efficiently.

Old technology is difficult to maintain. You will have to spend more time on maintenance than if you had a newer version of your computer or phone. This could mean having to replace parts or even having an entire device replaced because it has become too old and worn out over time.

Old technology may not be compatible with other devices or software programs. This means that if you want to use an app on your phone for instance, you may need an updated version of the app so that it will work with your device or vice versa.

Old technology can offer poor performance. If there are bugs or glitches in the software and hardware, then this could affect the performance of your machine as well as its reliability.

I am a software engineer and often times I have to make a hard choice between using an old technology but some times I have no choice than to use it, because it is more reliable and has a lot of support, so when you encounter a bug you can easily get it fixed with ease.

I love using new technology, because it is easier to use, because it has easy syntaxes but then when you encounter problem, support is hard to come by because most people are not using it.

With time I believe new technology will get mainstream and people will adopted.

Old technology will continue to be mainstream and the main problem behind that is support, the moment support is readily I am very sure people will change their technology.

Web3 is taking over the internet, and web2 is still going strong, blockchain too is taking over and a lot of developers are building stuffs to support the ecosystem.

Anything old usually comes with so many problems and speaking of technology, we all know that the world is fast evolving now and the easy ways of doing things then have now become very tiring. For example, when the mailing system was introduced, people saw it as an advancement and better, easier way to communicate. Soon audio calls was introduced and now we have video calls and even more sophisticated forms of communication which are way more faster, easier and gives you the ability to even feel the sense of a live conversation.

That is still applicable in every sector. Old technology is always going to be slower and inefficient and I think the main reasons why we have an old and new technology is because of the daily improvements that are made on things to make them more efficient, easier to work with and faster as well.

These are the major impediments that I think usage of old techniques brings along.
