First Reported Working Steampunk Cellphone Short on Convenience, Rich in StyleStumble This


The picture that you see above you is the very first working steampunk cellphone to be reported. As you can see from the picture, there is a nice mix of polished wood and shiny brass and a couple of gauges that may or may not serve any non-aesthetic function. This is no dressed up cellphone, it doesn’t open up to reveal a hidden screen or keypad; it does not have either of these conveniences. If you want to call someone, you do it via a binary-coded punch card; it doesn’t get more steampunk than that.

The steampunk cellphone is the work of engineer Arthur Schmitt.
