Why do we have to call images wallpaper?



I mean, you probably say,



"huh, I need new picture for my PC/mobile wallpaper"



The screen [on PC or mobile] isn't even a gddnm wall to begin with and the picture isn't a paper. (Show me the cinder block in my tablet screen please -.-)*



So my questions are:



• Why the heck do we have to call images as "wallpaper" when it isn't even made of paper in the first place?



• Where's the "wall" on your device to put on these so called "wallpapers"?



• And why am I doing this weird thread all of a sudden?

in french we call this "fond (background) d' (of) écran (screen)

- You don't have to call this "wallpaper", do it if you want or don't, no one care.
- The wall is metaphorical, allegorical.
- Because you're bored or have nothing better to do atm.

Why is the save icon on programs a floppy disk?
Why is the desktop called that if it's just another screen?
How come your settings app is a gear if there are no gears in your phone?

We tend to put ancient/archaic terms in out modern hardware in order to make it easier to understand or familiar.
