This reminds me of the "save" logo in almost every app. Apparently I'm one of the only people left alive that knows what a floppy disk was.
Fuck yall not old, just told my 16 year old I had to tape something and he said and I quote, "Like record something?" He 16 and he knew what I was talking about. Maybe her kids just sheltered.
Yeah, but you'll notice that he had to double check with you to be sure though. So, he had his doubts.
There's a piece of software we use at work and the save icon for that is a downwards pointing arrow and a CD. No one knows what it means.
Idk, my high school aged kid is using floppies to load software onto a piece of equipment in their shop class at school. It also accepts usb (but only at usb 1 speeds, and exfat formatted) .
The kids are into using floppies of different colors much like I was in my first comp sci class in high school.
It’s not ubiquitous but it isn’t quite as unknown as it was.
I mean I knew what an 8 track was in the 90s.
I just had to use one the other day at work on an old machine. Lol
"Look, dad, someone 3D printed a save icon!"
