As previously mentioned Technology has taken on a more steam powered role in our future Earth but exactly how far does the technology stretch and why steam?
Ok well first off lets all agree that Steampunk is hella cool so that's why steam but of course there IS another reason. After the cataclysm major power-plants and nuclear were the most disastrous sites and the effects are still seen today in the ashen lands and mutations. Due to the disastrous effects no one was really willing to take another swing at those and so alternative means to get energy were hunted for. Being in a time of limited resources and constant wars the old fashion became modern and steam once again took on a major role in humanity and while big clouds of white steam are not the prettiest site they represent a strange image of hope and human perseverance. After larger settlements were laid down other types of technology of course found there way up there things like solar, wind, and water power were not only easy to access in certain regions but they were clean but as one would imagine Steam continued to stay on top.
While you would imagine that with steampunk ideas and steam power technology has fallen behind you would be shocked to discover that isn't the case. T.V's, radios and other such things and still around and ingenuity has come quite along way thinking up some amazing gizmos and gadgets. In this area I encourage you to be creative with things. Because technology has taken a strange step back but an equal step forward you have quite the mix of things though while there is no internet people still have ways to easily communicate with one another. Prosthetic and machines are quite advanced and used often in day to day life. Scientists from all classes are always thinking up new things here and there and whispers of androids go around though it could only be a rumor.
Because technology in our future is such an open end I encourage you as a writer to be creative there are blimps and easy ways to travels also so don't feel limited so long as its not a super robot hulk machine I think your somewhere in the safe zone. Feel free to post replies to this thread with your own ideas and different technologies and over time it can evolve and so too can our knowledge and gizmos and gadgets heck if you find a cool picture of some technology would want to be a thing add it just remember everything follows the steampunk style and not everything is steam so yes you can have an android that's not spewing smoke every few minutes electricity IS a thing like I said get creative stretch the limits.
