"Might as well draw a random squiggle and call it "save"" At this point there's really no reason to replace the floppy with a squiggle or anything else. It is a virtually universally understood defacto standard at this point, so unless there is a super compelling reason to stop (and I can't think of any) we should just keep using it regardless of whether anyone actually uses floppies anymore or not. That aside, "random squiggles" make terrible icons. There has to be some notable structure to an image for it to have meaning when it is placed alongside other images. Eg. if you had a "random squiggle" for save and a "random squiggle" for load, even if the squiggles were pretty different and were used consistently, most people would have a very difficult time remembering which is which if they were actually just random squiggles, and not something with a more clear & defined structure.
