| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Distributed computing is such an elegant concept that one couldn't help but get involved. The fact that the pioneering project in this field was SETI, made it all the more interesting. It would be most fitting if the first evidence of intelligent life outside the earth were to be confirmed through the global collective consciousness of distributed computing via the internet, a concept that was unimaginable when I first typed out computer code onto IBM punch cards 40 years ago. |
