Skeuomorph

My word of the week – Skeuomorph. Meaning to continue to include in design something that harks back to it’s origin (or original design) but is no longer necessary. Most obvious example is the shutter click sound played by digital cameras, despite there not being any moving parts making that noise any more.

Some nice examples of Skeuomorphing with photos at Obsolescing here.
