Lol, this never even occured to me. I guess I just got used to it.
I'll never forget my nephew asking me why I have a box of save icons.
Made me feel really old explaining it to him, but he took it in stride and we talked about older tech and the stuff it entailed.
Him and his sister were also surprised about the phone icon and why it's referred to as, "the phone is ringing".
Those two love to learn new things about old things and how things work.
The magic in their eyes as I touched on the idea of looking for things in the world that were designed and not natural was amazing.
"Look around and see everything that is made was designed by people. The building we're standing next to was designed down to the nails and the ground it sits on. The foundation and the layers that were built up to ensure that the building doesn't move were all the work of generations of progress of people working together."
"Even the gravel?"
"Even the gravel was chosen from the work of many people for the correct size and type of stone to be suitable for placing a house on."
Did it happen for real? I always though that it was just a meme.
