The last one I'm not so sure about
We still 'dial' numbers on the phone, the 'save' icons on computer software is still usually a little picture of a floppy disc, and railroad crossing signs still have little pictures of steam trains on them. I reckon some things just become so widely used that they gain wider iconic meanings, completely divorced from their literal original ones.
