"The utopia of the technological order is virtual immortality. Hithertofore only ascribed to the gods, to the divinity. Now we have a new pantheon, the computer sits in the middle of it, the computer not being a sign, is the most powerful instrument in the world in that it produces what it signifies, it produces this globalization, in that sense it is the highest magic in the world, and something we are all in admiration of."
-Godfrey Reggio
''the computer not being a sign, is the most powerful instrument in the world in that it produces what it signifies''
What does this mean?
