From Adrian van den Bergen
Your editorial on skeuomorphs (9 June, p 3) – design features added to new devices to mimic familiar old tech – brought to mind good advice from my late mother: “Don’t throw away old shoes before you have new ones.”
Until sounds and images evolve that better describe the action portrayed, such as the click of a camera shutter, or until users no longer recognise them as such, it seems a good idea to keep them.
