~10 years ago I would say “google it” often. But now I don’t think I say that at all, and would say “search for it” or similar.

I don’t think I really consciously decided to stop saying it, but I suppose it just felt weird to explicitly refer to one search engine while using another.

Just me? Do you say, or hear others say, “google it” in $current_year? Is it different for techies and normies?

    Otherwise, the save icon being a floppy disc is a clear visual example in technology that’s just now-ish passing beyond its redundancy.

    It cracks me up that cars have a phone icon based on a handset style from an old home landline phone. I guess enough businesses still use them?
