Is my cold infectious to computer technology—that is, a virus that can cross over from a carbon-based life form to a silicon-based form of life? Is it possible for such a virus to mutate and function in the inverse? Do I need to upload some form of virus protection to my own organic computational matrix before using my computer again?)
