Wow, terrifying. I was just browsing through 'My Documents' and a phantom folder has appeared! It is cryptically titled 'New Folder' and contains no documents. I wrote a poem about it.
The Unsolvable Mystery of the New Folder
Scanning through ‘My Documents’,
My eyes are all a-quiver,
An empty folder – ‘New Folder’,
Sends forth a dreadful shiver,
Crashing, rolling down my spine,
The folder – empty – that is fine.
From whence did you come?
Oh, folder of Hell.
What can I file (in you)?
Oh, folder of Hell.
Did you deign to spawn yourself, like some awful Kracken?
A Kracken crashing through the bracken with the aim to simply slacken
My Bowels?
Mayhap I’ll never know, old bean,
I could not hope to guess,
From whence ‘New Folder’ did appear.
One answer pops up to my fear,
An answer to my strife.
I’ll simply click ‘delete’, my dear,
And thence can sleep at night.
Please share any similarly fear-striking stories of technology going 'mad' and thus foreshadowing the inevitable demise of humankind at the hands of machines in the 'comments' - thereby ironically playing directly into the hands of the machines.

Today, my computer lined up a document I sent to print in 2008. It's a fast computer. It's never been faulty. It isn't trying to take over the world. But it is odd.
