Iconoclasm

What can be said about the save icon? It is a diskette. It is often blue. And of course, as others have pointed out, many (soon to be most) people using computers today have never touched one and never will. Yet you could say the same for a the "home" icon (millions will never own a house), the "phone" icon (used a model 500 lately?), the lasso, the magnifying glass, the dodge and burn tools. "Games," represented by a checkerboard! Copy and paste, for god's sake?
