In 20-30 years from now on people will be asking what combustion engines, LTE Routers, Iphones or real Smartphones, bluray players, these even nowadays weird legacy imperial units like LBS, Gallons, inches were used for and no one except some freaks will know the Answer. That is just a normal development, new things get invented, existing things get (mostly) better and advanced, and sometimes get out of use and forgotten about.
      Networks are nowadays done via fibre optic cable or Cat6 LAN Cable inhouse, the 1980s with the advent of coax networks are long gone. So why should anyone not in this special field know for what these ancient cables were used for?

    12:09 that's not a dreidel. It's a "put and take" spinner or "tetotum." The faces are labeled T1, T2, T3, TA, P1, P2, P3, PA, for "take" 1,2,3, or all" and "put" 1,2,3, or all. Each player antes in one chip (coin, dollar, etc), and they spins the spinner, either adding to the pot or drawing from it.
    Dreidels have only four sides, labeled with the Hebrew characters Shin, Hey, Gimel, and Nun. The idea is the same (Nun= get nothing, Gimel = take all, Hey = take half, and Shin = put in. The letters also serve as a mnemonic for "nes gadól hayáh sham, "a great miracle happened there," referring to the oil in the temple lasting 8 days.
