So why IS there a vending machine icon for save?

No matter your age, knowing what a floppy disk looks like is part of general education.
How would you translate "floppy" to Japanese?
This, basically.
Furoppī
What’s the deal with Caps Lock? I don’t recall my caps being so expensive as to need security.
What would a modern save icon even look like? A usb drive?
A cloud
something like this?
A cloud with an upsided green or blue arrow
That looks like download icon, here is better option for yall
oh the download document from remote server to save a local copy button
Why are namefags always the ones with the worst suggestions? It's like they want to be filtered or something
fart
The problem with a cloud icon is that it could be mistakenly interpreted to be a button that saves a file to the cloud, rather than to local storage. Of course, not that a floppy icon, taken literally, is much better, but it at least vaguely indicates that you're saving to local storage.
Arrow pointing to hard drive?
Can't unsee. I've never seen a floppy in person as I was born in the year 2001 but whatever.
Make it an SSD
2.5" SSDs are a little too nondescript looking, unless maybe you point it to an M.2 SSD (although, granted, I really doubt the average normie knows what the storage in their computer actually looks like either way).
Give it the donut icon.
RETARD ZOOMERS BTFO
>save locally
>implying future OS's will even have the option to modify data locally
Your just be taken to a screen with big icons to select which Group you want to share the doc with and, if you are lucky, tags. Gotta watch out for those pesky hackers with aimbot
Superior Asian IQ at work.
imagine spending all this time and money employing fat white girls to draw icons in photoshop all day when chinese characters already exist lmao

or just a ambiguous rectangle

>tfw no radio buttons looking like actual radio buttons
The floppy is fine for a save icon.
Holy shit, I was actually around for this and still didn't make the connection.
Jesus
I am a massive faggot
[S] Save
The icon shit should be abandoned altogether. Every button should have a text on it.
for me it would be this
Spinning rust is going the floppy way
Why? Could you identify all the parts of a Gutenberg era printing press? What about a pedal loom? Pedal looms are obsolete, manual printing presses are obsolete, and floppy disks are obsolete.
Nooooooo, kids don't know what this random piece of technology that has been obsolete for decades looks like!!! The society is truly going to shit.
Same
Cloud? Nope... makes no sense unless you're really saving to the cloud.
Now we're getting somewhere.
>local storage
it's 2019
we don't need that shit anymore except to store the firmware
Do you know the etymology of every word you use? Like when you say “She’s a good lady” do you mean “She kneads bread well”? It’s a glyph, and the meaning is “to save a file”. Just because the glyph was created with a different storage medium in mind doesn’t mean it has to change every time we change the storage medium.
I agree, but that fully defeats the argument that "everyone should know what a floppy disk looks like". These dang kids with their 3D printed save icons are fully aware the glyph represents saving a file, the fact it represents a floppy is completely irrelevant.
OH fuck
I didn't realise this
am I a zoomer?
Isn't vending machine older than diskette?
the download icon makes no sense
>why is there an icon of a hard drive being thrown?
I was born decades after the gramophone, but if I saw one as an icon I'd know what it was representing. Zoomers are just stupid.
That looks like bikini.
>Could you identify all the parts of a Gutenberg era printing press?
Yeah, the screw, the plate, etc. If I saw an icon of a large screw with a flat bottom moving towards a plate of type I'd know it was representing part of a press.

GUI are bloat
technically that's a GUI too.
Nippon chinpo
no its at best a TUI
The o's and -'s are forming a square, which is a text graphic.
therefor it's a TGUI.

>being retarded
there is no such thing as a TGUI

>tfw having made my own small scale printing press and pedal loom
Get some hobbies that are not worthless video gaymes.
Even at the time the floppy icon made little sense.
It could have meant loads of things:
- save to floppy
- load from floppy
- browse floppy
- etc.
Apparently designers are too shit to come up with something better.
>upload/download images
save/restore cursor?
here's an appropriate save icon

Is this image supposed to be promoting foie gras?
ahhh shit I thought they were radio buttons because radio = radial = circle buttons
Since they always have circle shape
>Why is the reddit arrow there for saving file?
But in the future, people won't recognize mechanical hard drives anymore.
[NEW] [LOAD] [SAVE]
I am going to use a drawing of an M.2 card for the save button in my next project.
Just to educate the normies.
Wish me luck.
