Save logo will probably be phased out with a 'upload to cloud' logo

I often see the floppy disk image and think “WTF is that still doing there?”

I can’t imagine what my kids will think it is. My parents are completely confused by the power button. My mom thinks it’s a stick figure finger pushing a button.

Coasters with sharp metal edges on them are indeed a novelty. /s

I hope this doesn't happen. I don't want to upload things in the cloud. I pay 20 soles for every 700 MB and I can't afford uploading everything to the cloud. I need to store things locally on my file system and maybe offload them to a USB-stick if I need more space... But not to the cloud...

Explicitly saving will probably disappear, it nearly has already for a lot of people, files and folders as UI primitives will probably follow. I also predict that this will create more problems than it solves, the average person will be heavily restricted in what the can get a computer to do.

I predict that I'll stick with systems that don't go that route, whenever possible.

I was thinking this should be a flash drive.

Jeez I can't even remember the last time I saw one of those things much less used ones.

Maybe we should go backwards to a feather pen, or a chisel for cuneiform wedges?

(or a cloud logo, a CRISPR logo, a blockchain logo, an AI logo or whatever the next buzzword is!)
