Comment

Comment on The word movie is probably only about 100 years old, yet incredibly ingrained into our culture.

I find things that carry over despite having little to do with the original. Tape for example. We were saying that for a while when digital recorders and cameras on phones could do video.

Same with the disk icon. Still used for save despite most millennials now having no idea what the thing is.

Most millenials grew up with floppy disks. You’re thinking of Gen Z and Gen Alpha

    Yes new generations will continually be created and older generations will always sneer at them.

I know what it is but no idea how it works. I grew up with cassettes for music and CDs
