Good point Steven. In fact, the incremental increase in complexity of crop circles over time seems to roughly correspond to the increase in inexpensive computer power and GPS etc. which is available to students.
Equally surprising and far more ironic is that the increase in inexpensive computer power may itself be in some part a result of an alien intelligence having already "infected" the human minds which were responsible for those rapid advances. To reconcile this alternative viewpoint: I think the main thing that almost everyone misses is that "alien intelligence" can and has already arrived in a NON-physical way. There is a middle ground in the UFO argument, and a suspicion that a superior form of intellect is here and yet at the same time that there has never was a "real" spacecraft responsible for getting it here. ("real" in the sense of being manufactured from physical elements and travelling through three dimensional time). IOW, an intelligent entity can easily be present and active without physical means of transport, and in fact ask yourself this: why would "they" or "it" (when ET acts as an entity) chose a far more costly and less effective way to visit? Yes, it may be expedient to the goals of ET to "infect" the minds of susceptible humans - in order for those humans to convey to other humans the truth... even of an alien existence, but usually another more important truth - but "truth" itself still remains a fluid mental construct, or in the case of crop circles - a hint of "the other". BTW - It has been long realized, going back to antiquity, that these aliens like to play "the trickster" at times. But also - for thousands of years the susceptible humans, the "contactees" as it were, have been treated with more respect, and were once called "prophets" or "savants" ... but nowadays they get thoroughly Dangerfielded. In fact, in a few hundred years, if we can avoid self-destruction (with 'their' help) then this route is probably the way that we will chose to spread our contribution to this "migratory process" of meme transfer though space and time and outward - well beyond our own physical horizons ... ... kinda like the "folding time" metaphor, if your are into Sci-Fi but with the twist that "they" always become "us".

Not according to what I've seen and read. Crop circles have only become more intricate within the last decade or so. Twenty years ago and prior crop circles were pretty much just that: circles. Perhaps on a more fundamental level we have failed to comprehend the fact that it's not so important trying to determine WHO is responsible for making of most of these circles. A more salient question might actually turn out to be comprehending WHO is currently looking at them... WHO is trying to comprehend what their meaning might be.
