I love how the technology label of the age is used throughout culture to indicate "modernity" and "cool". Everything today must be "digital" (whether that makes sense or not -- consider the rush to "digital voting" in the US in 2001 even though it only, and only potentially, addressed one perceived problem and introduced plenty of others).

You can see this happening to trains in the 1920s and thirties, when the high speed trains of the era adopted a "flyer" moniker (e.g. the "Philadelphia Flyer" express train -- and now "Flyer" apparently lives on as the name of a model train system). The term arrived as flight began to take over as the cool new transportation.

In the Atomic age we had "atomic fireball" cinnamon balls and the "bikini" swimsuit.

But my favorite of all is a toy waggon from the 1930s called the "radio flyer" which, though a simple kids' wagon, managed to adopt two high tech trends in one name, though it had nothing to do with either.
