I got the beach icon, and I was immensely pleased!
Going analog works best for me with reading. I’ve tried reading books through my library app, but it simply isn’t as fun and exciting as picking them up in bookshops and bringing them everywhere I go! There’s something satisfying about getting to watch my progress in a real way; I don’t enjoy watching the page numbers on a screen as much as I enjoy watching my bookmark travel towards the end. I don’t use my laptop for creativity, but I do have fond memories of doing so in elementary school!
When I was a child, I was obsessed with Girlsgogames. I would always play on the computer when I went to my grandparents’ house. The nail painting, spa, and hair cut games were so fun! I also have wonderful memories playing Minesweeper and Purble Place with my dad 😊
Classic me fashion, I basically tied A/B/C. The flower was 100% my icon IRL.
I loved the game Chex Quest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chex_Quest), which was a promotional thing from General Mills that it appears I likely got in a box of cereal?
I am the two beach chairs. I want to be in the water, all the time. And yes, I should put in a vacation request STAT.
I absolutely use my devices for creativity and I love reading pieces like this to get re-inspired. I love the concept of designing my device space like a home.
Also this whole post was SO nostalgic. Screamed a little at the Millie’s Math House image. I was OBSESSED with the games on that. Was also a huge Neopets girl and loved Frogger. There were also some fashion games I loved but I simply cannot remember what they were called right now. Oh, and Sims of course!!!
I really loved this take. For me it’s not the computer but the algorithm that ruins creativity. The computer itself is a magical tool, especially if used with your tips!
GROUP PROJECT:
1. Quiz results: Which Windows icon did you get? And which icon did you used to use?
2. Seeking your thoughts on going analogue. Where does it work well for you? Do you use the computer for creativity still?
3. Looking to bond over your memories of the best computer games ever.

This is one of the most fun pieces I've ever stumbled on! Such a stroll down memory lane 🥹 Do you remember the game Poptropica?!
