{A skeuomorph (/ˈskjuːəˌmɔːrf, ˈskjuːoʊ-/) is a derivative object that 
retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that are 
inherent to the original. Examples include pottery embellished with 
imitation rivets reminiscent of similar pots made of metal and a 
software calendar that imitates the appearance of binding on a paper 
desk calendar.}

{In the mid-twentieth century, computers were extremely rare and used 
only by specialists. They were equipped with complicated interfaces 
comprehensible only to these select few.}
