If computers could dream...




Title:
If computers could dream...

Description:
... it's quite likely it would be something like this. http://www.electricsheep.org/ Available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux now, Electric Sheep is a distributed computing project which realises the power of idle computers and sets them to work on generating new 'Sheep' which are then shared with other users. Sheep can be voted for, so the more aesthetic Sheep appear more often. From the homepage - "Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver created by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'" Enjoy.
