… describe icons used in modern applications that show items that are obsolete or dated and not used for the task in hand?
For example, at work we are quickly phasing out flatbed scanners and very strongly encourage people to use phones and tablets to photograph documents and send them to us. Our new interface has a “Send document” button which shows a flatbed scanner! The latest MS Word (for Windows) has a floppy disc icon to click which saves your work. Neither of the two guys I work with have ever seen or used a 3.5” floppy disc. The generic icon used for a storage device is frequently a hard disc even when the device has Solid State storage. And will the same soon apply to the icon for a camera? Just idle Saturday wondering.
