Isn't that effectively what the floppy disk is to most computer users today?
Not exactly. It can be confusing at first, but then you see that it's a standard in most apps, and you're fine. The most curious ones will look for more info and find the historical roots.
In other words, the floppy disk has meaning, just like most proverbs that come from ancient roots, but are still used and understood everywhere.
Well yeah, but not all computer users today.
