Fascinating.

Another concept I'm sort of fascinated with is skeuomorphism. It's sort of the opposite of what you're describing. It's when humans design digital products to resemble real-life counterparts. For example, a computer desktop was initially made to resemble & act as an actual desk top. Same with folders in computers vs. real-life folders, buttons in apps, and so on.

The back & forth between real & digital in product is really interesting.
