IMHO Things change. Paper tape -> flash , Teletype keyboards to touch screens and voice commands.

Get over it. It will change (again)
Lubrication instructions for a Teletype model 33. Remove the 4 marked parts and lower it into a barrel of oil for 5 minutes. Remove, let drain for 5 minutes, install removed parts and put back into service.

The first minicomputers we used where I was working were Data General Nova's and Nova 1200's back when core memory used real cores.
