I, for one, welcome our new memory metal alien overlords, and like the rest of my generation, want to welcome them with more faith in them than in the nothion that social security will be there for me when I retire!

LOL. Interesting you mention alien overlords. A short novel by Arthur C. Clarke is about that. "Childhood's End". Don't know if it would hold up now, but worked when I was younger before all the good Sci-Fi movies of late with less simplistic story lines like Star Wars or Star Trek. Got any favorites?

Some make you kinda want some benevolent alien government that actually stops us from heading toward annihilation, yet allows us the freedom to conduct our business.
