i don't know how this has happened but retro styling and skeumorphosm is starting to make me twitch. I think I've developed an allergy.

@tomskitomski didn't miss it. I did have a little chuckle at the throwing hands in the air and writing to the daily mail comments tho :)

@tomskitomski also, do as I say, not as I do. It's not like I'm not guilty too. But it's my twitter account and therefore I am right.

@denisewilton Yes. Yes you are. Do want examples though. Where's the edge between subtly enhancing and over the top?

@tomcoates oh, it's just flippy frickin' pages on flat digital devices and pretend rolls of film in digital cameras. That kind of thing.

@tomskitomski @benterrett to be honest, i too have been guilty of the fake paperclip and pretend sellotape. We've all done it.

@denisewilton Agreed with film, surprisingly disagree on floppy pages.

@tomcoates mainly it worries me that we're creating weird false memories for next generations. And we're getting lazy.

@robmanuel @denisewilton They didn't have to! Everything from the seventies already has a weird retro filter on it!

@tomcoates i hate floppy pages most of all. Understand need for non-threatening new devices, but contents of book ≠ bound paper.

@denisewilton I don't think it's that actually. I did a bit of an inventory of page turning / pagination techniques a while back...

@denisewilton ... I couldn't find a pattern that made more sense / was more 'native' than page turning.

@robmanuel @tomcoates - yeah, that'll take some explaining. Just lie to your kids about how old they *really* are.

@denisewilton Vertical scrolling was terrible for bookmarking/place finding, horizontal scrolling lost the top left visual anchor.

@tomcoates yeah, i must admit, I don't have the answers. (Twitters for tantrums tho' right?)Pages feel weird as content isn't always best...

@tomcoates divided in that way Just because the text fell there doesn't mean it's the end of the text/para Does need breaking up tho', agree

@benterrett @denisewilton Pages are British! Do you want to return to some kind of immigrant Egyptian idea of scrolls?! It's PC GONE MAD?!
