Most people unconciously associate the pause symbol (Two vertical lines) as currently playing and the playing symbol (sideways triangle) as paused. (lemmy.ml)

I remember actually cutting analogue tape and using sticky tape to repair the join when cropping audio in the studio. Now it's just a symbol of a pair of scissors.

I'm old enough for the rewinding of cassette tapes to be an integral part of my childhood, at least.

Editing was all digital by the time I started taking an interest, though.
