0 grey cells Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Maybe GPS(global positioning system). Either that or it's Drone , from Epsilon-0 , I guess. Computer programmer , as mentioned earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 unreality Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) yep the answer is computer programmer and if you don't get part of the answer: I look down upon my creation, their creation is their program, obviously shining with an unearthly light, the computer screen numbers define its rationalization; at the basic level, it comes down to 0's and 1's they have to fit just right. everything has to be just right in a computer program I know there are others like me, surrounded by satellites, there are two ways to take this part: a) the "others like me" are other computer programmers. Most of today's programmers work wirelessly and over the internet and stuff (hence the satellites) b) the "others like me" refers to other humans, and the satellites refers to today's technologically-obsessed world but please, let's not be hasty, I haven't met one in many nights. following the same two routes, a and b: a) I haven't met another computer programmer in a while, I've been working hard on this program, holing myself down. Or it could refer to meeting other programmers only over the internet, 'i haven't met one in real life in many nights' b) I haven't met another human in many nights. ie, nerdy/geeky stereotype. Or it could refer to women/sex (if the programmer is male of course (unless they're a lesbian (okay let's not get into that))). Or it could just mean that the programmer has been working on this program for many days straight, working hard and continuously make sense?
