I think the issue is not the floppy disk media itself but the fact that

Like changing traffic signs, I foresee a lot of troubles.

Yes, I agree. However, replacing it with something like an optical disc
(which is also imprinted in peoples minds, and could represent everything
from mechanical HDD plates to BlueRay) could be an idea. And there is still
an menu entry, shortcut and tooltips to guide people...


Kind regards

As you all know the floppy disc is some thing out dated in the modern

I'm afraid it's not the case, a lot of people use them, and especially
in governmental institutions.


Why we still continue the "Floppy Disk" as the icon for "Save" button in
LibreOffice?

Anyway, this could be replaced by a more generic computer/down arrow
button to reflect the different media better.
