In carpentry, you still do a lot of work with a hammer which did not change materially for last 70 years. Programming tools did change very, very much since 1956, even though some still retain the recognizable shape (e.g. Lisp or Fortran).

I don't think there are Titanium hammers 70 years ago. The changes are smaller but they are there.
