I use to know a gamer who used a phone for something like a decade. He got stuck doing something and I had to point out the burger to him. The thing he was looking for was interestingly enough not there. Apparently all websites he used were perfectly usable without knowing the button exists.

In contrast, some people can't not-read something and it being a button is automatically parsed out. Symbols and icons have to be learned which is a more gradual process. The other day I didn't recognize the flower icon for settings.

The what now? When did they stop using gears for settings?

This one looked much more like a flower with elongated elliptical teeth lacking space between them.

Pretty much this...

I'm still considering stealing the idea. If you put a daisy in the top corner others will get to experience the same.

Ah yes, this...
