Tech Tuesday: Steampunk

I think Wikipedia can more accurately describe this than I, a simple and lowly college student, can, so here's an excerpt from their page on Steampunk:

"Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction characterized by a setting in which steam power predominates as the energy source for industrial technologies,[1] inspired by industrial civilization during the 19th century.

Typically, therefore, works of steampunk are set in an alternate history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West"; in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream usage; or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power.

Steampunk perhaps most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in this era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Such technology may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne."

High Tech

Technology is perhaps the epitome of human accomplishment, and one of the greatest reasons why we, as a species, so greatly estimate our "success" in evolution. We celebrate technology in not just our conscious life, but in our subconscious life as well. One cannot go long without encountering technology in some form, especially computers and phones.

Humans try to encourage technological innovation by sending students to schools and colleges / universities, where they learn fascinating knowledge for subjects far and wide, much of the purpose of which is to encourage mental advancement, and thus our societal and technological advancement.
