MODERATORS
When breaking it down it down technology actually IS just hot water and clocks.
Praise the sun!
Until you get the nuclear power and then it's power from a dead sun.
My clock got hot water everywhere
Yeah, but think about it. Most energy nowadays comes from basically very hot water (steam) that runs through a turbine-driven generator. And integrated circuits are just very complex clocks.
Burn coal, make steam, use steam to turn tubine, generate electricity, transmit electricity, receive electricity, pump into alarm clock, vibrate crystal, count vibrations, tell time. Checks out.
So basically modern day technology is Steampunk?
