Icons and Tiles
I have wondered why tile has become the key word for what used to be icon? Is there really a difference other than size?
Programs have become apps. I know tablets changed our reference words but when an app has more code than some programs isn't it really a program?
I know this may sound silly to us but I help a lot of elderly folks (I am one myself) with their computers and believe or not this really threw them for a loop when they went from Win XP or 7 to Win 8. For some of them, when those tiles pop up instead of the desktop with icons they suddenly go brain dead!
Anyone else run into this problem? From now on I am calling them "those big icons" and I am giving up trying to explain what an app is.
