There's no denying that the more high-tech the world becomes the more many of us hanker for days gone by. The creators of the technology we use understand this and use icons, called skeuomorphs, that retain ornamental designs necessary in the original. So, when we save a Word document we click on an icon showing a floppy disk - how long have they been gone now? In a similar vein, we have an image of an old-fashioned waste bin for our electronic trash and an actual camera instead of the lens that our smartphones actually have. To name but a few. This hankering for the past extends to clothing: many people like to dress in vintage style and interior design too.
