bait

Floppy disk. We're going to need new icons for things soon. There's no sense in having a save icon be a ZIP disquette when no normal person has saved anything to one for the last 15 years at least.

What would replace it though, a downward arrow on a NAND chip? Even HDD symbols won't make much sense for the average user in less than 10 years when all average general purpose computing devices use SSDs of some kind.

>>59807403
yeah but it's still recognised to be "save"

it's like the stop sign. Everyone knows it means stop even if nobody uses them.

>>59807403
It doesn't have to change. You still see a rotary phone dial used as an icon despite them not being used for twice as long as floppy discs.

>>59807403

The only thing it would be replaced by is the down arrow. Idn, it is pretty universally recognized as save.

>>59807468
it'll be an up arrow tho cus it's all going up to the cloud in the future
the cloud is the future goy don't forget it
your data is safe with us

>>59807468

Ive actually not seen that much at all. What you do tend to see is symbols of a handset.

Soz that was meant for this guy.

OP I am really interested to know whether you are a troll or if you are for real

>>59807403
Icons are like language. We don't have to replace the word "lease" just because it used to mean "gather", or "mortgage" because it comes from the French term for "death pledge". The way voice calling works changes constantly too, but it makes sense for the icon to be the stereotypical and easily recognized rotary phone with a giant, corded receiver because it's what people already recognize, and what came first.

If you changed it to look like an iPhone or something, people five years from now would be laughing at you too, because the fucking holographic headset or whatever people will be using in the future to call people looks completely different. Why do you think we still use folders to illustrate directories, or filmstrips for videos, or sheet notes for music? What the hell would you replace them with, a cloud of binary data?

>>59807403
Nothing to do with ssd replacing hdd. Average millenial doesnt even know what hdd or ssd is let alone floppy.
Saving work is a foreign concept to them. There should just be an autosave and a long undo history

>>59807347
It's the self destruct button.

Latest Insider Preview for 365

Floppy disk and drives are all obsolete now. Really only use for them now is if you need to load storage controller drivers for Win xp/2k3 os during setup. Thankfully for os afterwards all you need is a usb stick.

It wasn't a few years after first using a computer that I realised the save button was a floppy disk
I knew what they were because my dad had some old games on floppy disks, but I had never personally used them

I don't think my brother or cousins have ever seen a floppy disk let alone used them and they know that the icon means save

Or we won't and will just roll with the current ones, deprived of their original meaning and reduced to whatever they're used now. So, it won't be a "floppy" icon, but a "save" icon.
Cheers.

Before you were born, people would save information to something called a floppy disk. The 3.5 inch (roughly your dick size) was the last version to be used.

ProTip: the round things are CDs, not frisbees.
