My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

      weird ass icons

      First of all, XKCD 37.

      Second, I’m guessing you’re talking about things like the “hamburger menu” and “share” icons:

      Frankly, those things are no more cryptic than the icons we had back in the '90s, and in some ways make more sense than the excessively-skeuomorphic-and-outdated icons we used to use (e.g. pictures of file cabinets and floppy disks for loading and saving files).
