Icons That No Longer Make Sense
Must be a sign of harmonic resonance or something. I was just talking about this sort of thing with my 14-year-old daughter (and she was the one who brought it up!) the other day.
Icons That Don't make Sense Anymore
By the way, Blogger, since when do I use a pencil to create a new blog post?
I feel like everyone gets used to the idea of a pencil is for writing. Even if people use a keyboard. What would you suggest for a simple icon that people could universally understand as writing? I think if you had a keyboard as the icon it'd be even more confusing, especially since not all keyboard look the same.
