I'd go for old-fashioned.
Outdated fits better with software or processes

People are old-fashioned -
"My mom is too old-fashioned to ever use an electric can opener."
Ideas, things in the general category of "intellectual" property, things that are long out of style become outdated -
"I love music from the 1960's and early 1970's, but some of the lyrics sound terribly outdated."
"Parachute pants and trickle-down economics are both horribly outdated."
Things that are just on their way out of style are dated:
"Has tumblr become dated yet?"
Note: "to be dated" has other meanings. For a person to become dated, another person has to have a romantic interest in them and take them out on dates. :)
