Steampunk Asthetic

I find myself more and more attracted to steampunk. Maybe I'm just jonging for a time that never was, or maybe it's just the beauty of some of the peices, I'm not sure.

If you're not sure what steampunk is don't feel bad, the term is hotly debated.  Basically it's imagining the victorian worls as if it existed today. Or imagining today's tech with a victorian asthetic.

Rather than try to describe it, I think it's just better to show you the best steampunk has to offer.

It's not just about computers, but as I'm typing this on my Toshiba and you are reading it on a computer or handheld device they seemed like the best images.

I would love the devices I use every day to have as much form as they do function.  I think in our mass produced world we have sacraficed a asthetic that we need to revist.

What if our everyday objects were artistic as they were beautiful?
