  • Steampunk phone does nothing useful, is very cool



    Here’s a Steampunk phone prototype by designer Arthur Schmitt. You make calls using binary punchcards. Punchcards! There are also some dials and a metal grill-type earpiece. The backside of the device seems to contain some sort of rolling counter that likely either keeps track of call duration or gives you the time.





    It looks much more rugged than the old-school Nokia phones that everyone used to get for free but I’m guessing you can’t play Snake on it. Still very cool. Remember, it’s only a prototype, but I betcha there are plenty of people who would buy one of these.

    • Now, look-wise that would be effin' cool. But it would need to work as a phone, too. And an mp3 player...

          • So if you wanted to use that when you were driving, does it have a wooden cone-shaped black earpiece attachment?

                        The funny thing is they were thinking of calling the university at Newcastle, "City University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne".

                        Then they realized it would anagram poorly.

                        • acronyms can be funny. The Association of Belarus and Russia in polish is Zwiazek Bialorusi i Rosji - ZBIR, which means "a crook" or "a robber" in polish.

                            Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.
