Technology as a broad notion is very useful – it’s the blocks in ballet pointe shoes, the scaffolding for roofing a house, the machine that sews blankets – but shininess has nothing to do with technology and everything do with misdirection and influence. It is literally a gloss to make us starry eyed. Now, tin hats off, it’s not a conspiracy (probably!) but when you think about it, it behaves exactly like one, so what’s the difference?

What attracts us to objects?... While all of our senses aid our first contact with material and form, arguably, it is the visual qualities of an object’s surface that first draws us in. It is only later, perhaps, that the other senses – touch, smell, taste, hearing – become engaged.

Tom Fisher and Nicolas P. Maffei, Editors of the Journal of Design History's special issue on Shininess, look at the role of shininess in art and design history, and it says about different cultural and historical periods.
