We’re living in a steampunk world after all

    I'm going to be this person I guess, but the defining trait of steampunk isn't the use of steam alone. It's that energy is transfered by delivering steam to where it's used, rather than using it in-place to crested electricity. This means that steampunk machines operate off of some kind of kinetic energy, rather than electrical energy.

    Basically, computers (and everything else) are spinning gears, not silicon.
