The Birdbassadorcertain iconography seems sticky even after the referent all but disappears. famously floppy disks for save icons, but also hourglasses for time/waiting, phone handsets/mics for audio calls, etc. i wonder what the next obsolete bit of tech iconography will be. hopefully flags for language localizations after the concept of the nation-state has been eliminated by mother anarchy, but i suspect it will be 👤 for agent/persona
Shared Mutable State@Birdbassador appreciation for the bitter humor aside…
I do find the journey of magnifying glass to be really interesting.
Having settled on “search” it is now shifting a bit toward “details”
