t's a fair point, though. Sure, users presently recognize the floppy disk, but are we headed to an era where people click on the square thing to save, but have no idea what it is?   Pesto Jun 19 '09 at 19:12

@Pesto: Why not? You already click a fox that somehow knows how to browse the Internet. You click a printer icon when you need to create PDF. E-mail has a little picture of an envelope, usually. Icons are just icons.   Welbog Jun 19 '09 at 19:15

When users see that icon, they don't think "Floppy disk", they think "Save". It's a symbol for that now, it's been burned into the computer using concscience for the past twenty years. I doubt we could come up with a new that is just as obvious now.   Michael Jun 19 '09 at 19:16

@Welbog: Yeah, but people in the future will still know what an envelope or a fox is. While they know presently what the save icon represesnts and why, there will come a time when they don't. Someday, 50 years from now, there will be people writing into some "The Answer Man" column with the question "What's the deal with that little square that means save?"   Pesto Jun 19 '09 at 19:19

@Pesto: Do you honestly think kids these days are asking this question today? They have never had a need for floppy disks. They just know this icon means "save" and probably don't care why, because it doesn't matter why.   Welbog Jun 19 '09 at 19:21

@Welbog: I'm not advocating a change. I'm just pointing out that, while presently just outdated, it'll eventually be something completely unknown to users.   Pesto Jun 19 '09 at 19:23

Maybe someone will change it to look like a thumb drive.   Spencer Ruport Jun 19 '09 at 19:35

Better yet would be a memory card. Something like an SD-Card or Sony memory stick... then again those look alot , are you sure people will recognize an envelope or a fox for that matter? How many people recognize a slide rule? or a drafting square? If you showed picture of a fox, a wolf, and wolverine to a bunch of city kids how many could pick out the fox? It is not that they are dumb, they just have not seen them. Icons will change, become more abstract, and yes people will forget what they stand for. Now where is old rotory dial corded analog telephone.   I tried this on my 9 and 13 year old nephews. I asked what does this button mean? "Save" they both answered immediately. Then I asked what the image looks like? They had no idea - not even a suggestion (which is fair since they haven't ever seen a disk). So I guess the meaning has overriden the image itself in the icon so we're stuck with it. that is why I suspected that Chinese is the superior human language. Our brains naturall
 y map abstract symbols to meanings anyway. Who cares what it used to look like 1,000 years ago?   JasonSmith Dec 6 Users know that the disk icon is to save. I guess it all depends on how much training that you want to perform 
 Who cares whether the users know what a 3,5" floppydisk was anyway? The important thing is that they know it means "save", just like Marpe showed.   Jonta Apr 12 '10 at 10:56

Open Office?? I've been using Open Office on Ubuntu lately and it actually confused me for a second when I didn't see the standard floppy disc save icon. Being a computer savy individual I managed to figure out that the giant arrow pointing to a hard drive meant save, but it makes me wonder why they changed it to begin with.
