A couple of years ago I asked my niece and nephew what that symbol was (on another program), they didn't know. I had brought over a real 3.5" floppy disk and showed it to them. They had no clue what it was for.

Did they say "why did you 3D print the save icon?"?

LOL no. They don't care about 3D printing at all. I've had them over to show it off and it's a big meh. Across the street I just began talking to the woman's new husband last week, because we've never met due to the virus stuff. Well he had a nice Ender 5 plus in the garage so we have something in common. But I asked him if any of the three boys living there were into it. Nope - don't care. I wonder if that's the case with many kids?

As far as the actual save icon, in theory it could be anything as long as the person using the software knew it from the other icons. What's the modern equivalent of the floppy icon - a little cloud. Or it could just actually say "SAVE"  ...  :-DD

I had Programming 101 at university. It was teaching C, embedded focus. The professor told us:
-Whoever doesn't speak English, has one week to learn it. If you don't know how to use windows, give up now, goodbye, you will never be an engineer. At least not while I still teach here.

And I agree with him. People who have no basic understanding how to operate a computer shouldn't get any kind of degree.

Pretty advanced neighborhood you're in there.  In mine we mostly talk about gardening and home renos.

I fear manual saving might also become a forgotten skill.  I was amazed in uni when people would lose a bunch of work because they didn't save.  When I taught a KiCAD tutorial I started with having them save and organize the files.

Oh no, nope. The guy across the street having a 3D printing hobby is pure luck. If you met the other neighbors you would realize there is nowhere near an advanced group living in this 'hood.  :-DD
