Technology Symbols

I recently came across a handy and well done infographic describing common technology or user interface (UI) symbols from the Edudemic.com web site. It is quite a large infographic so I broke down the original, which is the first image pictured below, and made individual items of the symbols. Also, I created 3 new symbols I thought were important at the end of this graphical list. I created a graphic for the zoom symbol, the 3 horizontal bar menu, and the settings icon.

IMPORTANT:  For space purposes, I needed to reduce the size of these graphics for this article, but you can click on each one you are interested in to see it in its full size to make it easier to read and view.

Do you have any symbols that confuse you or would like to know more about? Do these make sense to you? Leave a comment below this graphical article and let me know.
