Steampunk Tendencies
aka Ways in Which the 21st Century May Resemble the 19th Century
- patronage of the arts (on a distributed social micro-finance model)
- private clubs (in the form of walled-garden networks)
- craftsmanship and customization (of bespoke digital experiences)
- cottage industry (of knowledge workers in internet and aurec)
- barter economies (made viable with internet and aurec)
- flaneurs (of the networked city)
- social community values (exhibited as global affinity networks)
- diversity of news media (via personal publishing)
...to be continued ;)
PS: aurec = aura + recognition, my preferred term for so-called "augmented reality" – more on this coming soon.
