What new functionalities does it have compared to the physical artifact
The software programs that are used in the electronic versions of the planners have added functionality like reminders of important dates and the ability to take the planners with you in some cases so you can write down important dates in the far future very easily unlike the pocket calendar and very unlike the wall calendar and planner.

What interface metaphors have been used?
In the case of the electronic personal calendar on a personal organizer. The organizer is based off of an organizer that is not electronic, and the calendar is based off of the paper calendars that go inside these organizers.
