I am having a hard time coming up with a better image to use though. - Skyler Call

We still use a right pointing arrow for play despite the majority of media not spooling tape. Icons transcend - Johnny

What Skyler said. I think as things become more abstract, there really are no better ways to communicate them in a simple icon. Even if todays kids have no idea what a floppy is, that icon is familiar.....what Johnny said. LOL. - Rahsheen

Hell, the icon for Compose is usually paper and pen of some kind, isn't it? :) - Rahsheen

Maybe a cloud? - iTad

Many cellphones still use the landline handset as an icon for "call". - Spidra Webster

Actually, why even have a Save function. Modern software saves as you go... Even more so in the direction apple is going... - iTad

We also still use the paper clip to signify 'attachment'. - Skyler Call

And scissors for cut and glue for paste. - iTad
