| Hello. I am from a small town outside of Houston, Texas. I am a technician with a school district, and my hobbies are anything that doesn't pertain to work or computers! I started the SETI@Home program to give my little server something to do for 24 hours a day besides being on and not doing anything but providing an internet connect. |

I think that anything is possible. It would be rather strange to think that this planet is the only body in the heavens that contains life. The benefits could be anything for finding some type of intelligent being, and so can the dangers. On the danger subject, at any time this world can be gone with a trigger of a nuke or two.
I don't think the Earth should go and publicize just to see what we can find. I would tend to think that all the satellites and interference from all electrical devices alone would allow for any semi-intelligent being to find us... at least I would think.
I run SETI@Home to give my server and small network something constructive to do. If my few machines find something of use for Berkley and the rest of the world, then that is great. If my machines find nothing in their lifetime, then at least they got rid of those 'strips of data' so new data sets can be analyzed. Whoever came up with the idea is a genius in my book, what better way for computers in their idle time (or in the background for mine) to spend than analyze some data that could potential be of great interest to the world's population?
