Are computers and smart-phones rudimentary forms of life? Are they more advanced than the single-celled organisms in the beginning of life? Does it count if humans are relied on to facilitate their reproduction and evolution? Is it - or is it like - a symbiotic/parasitic relationship?

Do we have control anymore or are we just following the memes (convenience, progress, brand-names) to propagate the genes (code and software)? Like when you love somebody that's a meme to facilitate you spreading your genes.
