Magic and Tech

Magic and high tech can have interesting convergence at times.  I always found it an interesting coincidence that summoning demons and writing computer programs have the same problem.  One little comma is off somewhere in the wrong place and disaster results.  Ti’s spellcasting may seem a bit computer programming like at times.  That’s a natural consequence of trying to write realistic magic.  Think about it.  In your classical magic story, Merlin is supposedly holed up in his tower working on his magic for weeks.  Then someone attacks him, he says Abracadabra or something and a fireball strikes down his assailant.  What’s the connection?  Maybe now that we have the experience of computer programming, this is all starting to seem more possible.  Sounds a lot like someone prepared a program to run on something and then gave the execute command at the right time, doesn’t it?  That’s not all there is to it of course, but I do find some interesting parallels in high tech and ‘magic’ at times.
