Ask HN: What's the word for 'doing things the same old way with a new tool'?

[fossterer]

It's the word for 'doing things the same old way even when you have a new technology/tool with new capabilities' -- something that sounds like syroglephic, seiroglyphic.

I think you're looking for "skeuomorphic", though it describes form (mimicking the aesthetic of something else) rather than function.

Exactly! Thanks dangrossman
