Little of what Dr. Metcalfe and Dr. Boggs designed at PARC in the 1970s is still part of the technology.

Oh, really?
Besides the fact that you can still connect a device with a 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet connection (10Base-T, which is a very modest modification of the original 10Base-2 standard) to a modern gigabit switch
and it will work, the
entire Layer 2 Ethernet/802.3 specification is still implemented in, and used by, every modern switch, regardless of speed.
I don't think that qualifies as "little."
