I've heard the US government tends to use technology for a fairly long time. If it's not broken, don't fix it..  Some years ago, I'd heard they were still using a computer system from the 70s, though they may have replaced it by now. And I've heard there are still some COBOL jobs, mainly in the government for old computer systems.
