"Looking at this Steampunk Native Americans photo series, it&amp;#039;s actually hard to believe that CDs, computer mouses, and keyboards were non-existent in indigenous cultures. After all, the modern tech gadgets blend so seamlessly with the tribal garbs of these Native American models that most people wouldn&amp;#039;t even notice if they were just skimming through these pictures. My favorite of these Steampunk Native Americans photos is the one featuring a chief-like figure with a massive headdress made from CDs and computer boards. &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Implications&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; - Consumers are trying to mediate their relationships with the traditional and the modern, as illustrated symbolically through this photo series. They want to lead more naturalistic lives, but also can&amp;#039;t escape the conveniences brought about by modern technology. Corporations may utilize this consumer concern to their advantage by creating products with new age functions, but with familiar design aesthetics."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
