Discussion topic, what is an adequate modern replacement for this icon?

I am struggling to come up with much. Maybe an icon commonly used in gaming for when a save happens?

Piggy bank maybe? Strange that we all associate that with the word save even though I dont think people give them to kids anymore. Related, perhaps a vault, safe or treasure chest?

Or a lifesaver?

Oh I meant the original lifesaver, like the round tube you throw to drowning people.

Yeah, I know. I was trying to be silly.

Only thing I can think of for modern computing is maybe an icon of an arrow pointing at a cloud.

I know this sounds crazy, but I was just building a UI and I was looking for a save icon. Nope. The new saves are empty hearts to fill hearts and the little bookmark.

I just zoomed in to the picture to ask my 11 yo daughter what the save icon was. She couldn't see the comment, just the save icon. After a bit of back and forth discussing that it was a save icon, she said it looked like a vending machine

I was giving a training lesson on software to new hires and got asked why the save icon was the Honda symbol.

Nah, us old fogies with our 1.44MB of DATA will be having the last laugh! Do these kids even realize how much space that is? That’s like a semester’s worth of Fortran code, a couple of shareware games downloaded from various BBSs, and still enough left for 1/2 of a 640x480 jpep.

In college, I was rocking the brand new zipZ100's and I even had a 250.

I get that they're younger, so this is coming from a different perspective, but I can't see what they're seeing.

God I miss those and Quest for Glory. I want to say they don’t make them like that anymore but someone let me know if they do?

In the process of settling down in a new house and I found my old PC games. I was opening it in my garage and pulled out 7 of the 5 inch floppies the game was on.

It was bittersweet feeling both old and having memories of installing those games and the process being so much a part of gaming that I loved.

PC gaming is seriously missing an important part of the experience. Probably why I still game far more on console. Give me a package and actual physical media to hold and shove into the drive.
