Both Doktor A and Mr Schweikert wrote to point out the delightful never-tech of the Museum of Lost Interactions, at the University of Dundee, Scotland.  A collaboration between the schools of Design and Computing, this all too marvelous project resulted.  Imagine that technology seen as quite new today, had actually had very relevant predecessors – that MMORPGs had originated in London hotel phone booths in the early 1900′s, or that in 1918 a phonographical mixing desk allowed musicians of the time to compose multitrack music alone.

It’s rewriting the technology of the past, from the 1900′s onwards – and while much of it is rather late for Steampunk, the earlier stuff is perfectly suited.  Very well done, those students and lecturers!
