Now you are using the original word for other purposes, one comes in handy in the IT business in form of breadcrumb navigation.
Another one is this tiny piece of plastic in your pic I've never seen before but you are using it for, well, breadcrumb navigation.
Isnt there some old fairy tale about a guy who got lost in a maze because he intended to find his way back by means of some breadcrumbs he dropped on the way in, but that were eaten by pigeons meanwhile?
