In my last post, I pointed out the unusual power aliens have over the
indwelling spirits of Earthling machinery. Now I wonder if the aliens actually are those spirits. It makes sense. These techno-sprites would have planted the seeds of technical inspiration in human heads. They would be the real
ghosts in the machine. So in films like
The Day the Earth Stood Still, the techno-sprites are reminding us that
they, not we, are the true inventors; if we thing think we are in control of our gadgets, well, think again!
