filed under: complacency artefacts, design, skeuomorph,

A “complacency artifact” is an interaction interface skeuomorph. It was designed by some interaction guy who was rather out of his depth, and trying to comfort himself and the user by applying a cliched mode of interaction. The refrigerator needs a webpage; cellphones need big solid phone buttons, smartphone apps should act like newspapers — that sort of thing.

— Bruce Sterling
