You can tell the old technology behind the bright and shiny facade.
You can thank Southwest Airlines (the quite large American carrier) for this arrangement, as Boeing had every desire to truly update the design, however...it would have required a different (new) pilots type rating, and Southwest, having hundreds of the older aircraft, said...we won't buy any more if you do.

Case closed.

So I was told, anyway.
