I dont remember exactly what the illusion was, but it was some visual artifact, seeing patterns that werent visible a moment ago, much like the OP.

Quote Examples using Artifact

Of course as the article points out, Flash is nothing at all like a Hard drive, that people use it that way is an artifact. It much more closely represents the characteristics of something called "Drum Memory" [1] which, back when actual random access memory was very expensive to produce, made computers better. The reason was that a drum had a lot of heads and spun a piece of ferro magnetic material under those fixed heads. What this meant was that there was no 'seek' time, you picked the head you wanted electronically and you could read and write a few hundred to a couple of kilobytes of data. This enabled virtual memory in a big way because if you matched the amount of data on the drum with a 'page' of memory you could simply write out a page of memory or read in a page of memory faster than either tape or disk. The only problem was that you had to read all of the drum's track and write all of the track so a read-modify-write cycle meant reading in the track, modifying it, and the rewriting the entire track. Sound familiar? It should that is exactly how flash ended up working. So here you have a random access memory that started life as a memory, but gained commercial acceptance as a pseudo disk drive, and a generation of programmers and system designers who had never heard about drum memory or considered it as something other than a curious artifact of the "before time" when people stored data as dots on a cathode ray tube for heavens sake.

I imagine artifacts of the future continuing along these lines. Impenetrable to analysis by the naked A solid mass of synthetic minerals arranged in a very precise way so that electrons are precisely directed this way or that way. But to the naked eye, there is no cause and effect beyond the minimal input and output. On the opposite side, I can get a lot of enjoyment from messing around with something like a foot-treadle loom or 18th century brass navigation instruments. Even just looking at them is fun. They are complicated enough to be very clever and interesting. Too clever to invent yourself. But, they are still simple enough to understand using your eyes. You can get an "aha!" from seeing the flying shuttle work on a loom. The objects themselves being so common in mythology also adds to the flavor. You can see the incredible potential of adding more gears and levers. It's an accessible cleverness that you can experience pretty directly. I find it fascinating that space cowboy fiction & steampunk exist. First, future tense nostalgia is an interesting concept. Second, I think it shows a kind of longing for objects that are both futuristic but understandable. The loom is obviously a human artifact. The ipod is something we intellectually understand to be an artifact, but emotionally it doesn't feel like human one.
