"... is killing traditional ..." is a paraphrase of "progress".  In the 1950s
you might have heard "The electronic computer is killing traditional
punched card tabulators."  Or in the 1960s "The transistor is killing
traditional vacuum tube computers."

This is unpleasant only to those overly invested in the obsolescent
technologies.  And not all such technological prognostications become
reality.  Magnetic bubbles.  Cryogenic computers.  Quantum computers.
