older firewire backup up drives-new computers with usb

Hi, Just wondering what people do with outdated firewire technology. The computer with firewire port is perhaps near end date. The backup drive with firewire is fine. But newer computers don't have firewire. What to do with these backup drives? I've read that you can install some kind of built in converter but isn't helpful for our computers.
