They probably don't know what the "save" icon on many programs is either. Like right now I'm using Fusion 360, and to save a file you must click on an icon of a 3.5" floppy disk. 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.

To be fair the logo is often a bit small and stylised. I grew up with floppies and still didn't make the connection immediately.

Well if the new generation can be offended by MOSI and MISO meaning MASTER and SLAVE, no wonder they don't know folders. Maybe they should get their priorities straight  :popcorn:
(I even heard that some of them claims that a kilobyte is 1000 bytes  :-DD )
