QFT: History of the Button on Pressing the Reset button:
The metaphor is coming full circle. Where buttons onscreen were originally metaphors for physical buttons, the functions of onscreen buttons are now becoming metaphors for moments in our daily lives … Digital and analog are blending. How we conceptualize the two are merging. That is the power of the metaphor. I bet that if the original onscreen metaphors weren’t so strong (desktop, trash can, undo, file, folder), they wouldn’t be coming back to reinforce and expand their original daily meanings.
