When the internet was young a new wave of computer viruses got many people very excited for a time about deep philosophical questions.
These programs could self replicate, they could mutate, they moved through servers like an ecosystem. Perhaps this was a new form of life? A revolution?
Practically speaking these programs earned the name "virus" and deploying them became a crime since they could be very destructive and disruptive.
