| 説明 | This one always gets me:An icon of a diskette to indicate saving to your computer, still in use in Adobe PDF readers in 2009.Firstly, this icon would mean save it away from your computer, to an external source, no? Secondly, and importantly, surely the symbol is obsolete? The majority of people under 21 must never have even used one. Enter the argument of historically relevant symbolism I suppose - like extending your thumb and little finger to suggest 'call me' with a bakelite phone - or holding both hands close to your face, while wiggling an index finger, to express 'take a picture'.How can we combat obsolescences like this? Do we even need to? - - 8th Oct 09 updateNoticed that OSX 10.6 / Safari 4 uses a more appropriate icon to suggest downloading a PDF from the web. |
