When I hear that Machine Learning is an emerging tech field it freaks me out.

Logistic regression — 1958
Hidden Markov Model — 1960
Stochastic gradient descent — 1960
Support Vector Machine — 1963
k-nearest neighbors — 1967
Artificial Neural Networks — 1975
Expectation Maximization — 1977
Decision tree — 1986
Q-learning — 1989
Random forest — 1995

The logic seems to be: "if I didn't care about something important my whole life, but I care now, then it has to be emerging".
