Steam Punks

The steam punk aesthetic and culture has drawn my attention over the past few months. This is a culture inspired by science fiction writers and the timey Victorian era. Authors like H.G. Wells and K.W. Jeter have inspired the use of most technologies we have today in their own times. It is through the scenarios in their books the steam punk culture is born. The clothes, the technology, the music, and the fantasy mindset of re-writing the history of technology from a Neo-Victorian perspective are amazing to me. The style challenges individuals of this culture to manufacture technologies that are timeless and fashionable. A perfect blend of effort and delusion cultivates the mad scientist mentality of the steam punk culture. By rein visioning the past and including today’s technology into it, you can create the wares and wonders of a steam punk. Reinvention from the root of a product allows us not only to grovel over how awesome something appears, when it has an old-timey style, but also allows us to make improvements of our technology by editing the chronology of its existence. Inventing through a hypothetical time machine is what I will call it. My favorite invention of the steam punk culture is the analog desktop computer. As I look at this device I wonder what could have been and how far we can advance our technology if we put more focus on the impossible now. The Steam Punk fantasy world, that its creations inspire, pushes every person of this culture toward a magnificent tomorrow. I know that nothing is impossible thanks to the laws of physics, the science of experimentation and the steam punk culture.
