Personal background
I am a United States citizen, originally from Iran and have lived in this beautiful country where I love the most for the past 32 years. Hobbies include, Astronomy, Computer Science, Nature, Bowling, Tennis, Soccer and Mountain Climbing.

I have several degrees including a Master of Science degree in the field of Electronic Commerce. I am also a computer engineer that have worked in this field for the past 29 years for several global enterprises and defense industries.

I wish for the humanity to somehow eliminate bigotary and set aside all hostilities and concentrate in achieving the goal of equality and respect. We should not hesitate even a moment and continue to strive to expand our knowledge in the field of computer science and space exploration.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I definitely believe that there are other civilizations beside us living in the vast universe and we will eventually reach them as we get more mature in the field of space travel. It is ridiculous to think that we are the only civilizations.

There are always uncertainties when other civilizations are encountered, however, we must not focus on the danger of things and be optimistic.

We must do whatever is necessary to reveal our existance on this planet. We should continue transmitting lots of sounds, pictures, and video of ourselves, animals, plants and picutres of the beautiful planet Earth similar to what Voyagers spacecrafts are sending.

I have always loved to be associated with space exploration ever since I was a boy scout. It is facinating to look up and see all the stars and planets. It transfers me to a place that I have never been and by that it tells me how small and complex we are.

The SETI@home project is a good start. However, We must make sure that we are not using all these resources (human and network of computers) Unnecessarily and we are not wasting our time doing so.

Keep up the good work everyone!
