During my career I was involved in computers, I connected ten regional offices to our headquarters building in Washington, DC. We orginally used Frame Relay but use redudent T1s. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
To paraphrase a quote from the movie Cotact, "If we are the only species in existence then there is a awful lot of wasted space out there." If we are to discover other life forms, it will be done through your efforts.
I don't see any danger in trying to discover other life forms. I think the benefits will be enormous. As for sending a beacon, yes, I think it would be a good idea. For one thing it would be able to reach farther into space. Information? Let them know we are here and would like to contact them.
I run SETI@home because the whole idea of using idle CPU power is pure genious and I wnat to be part of it. I love tracking data. I have a spreadsheet that is updated everyday. I have four graphs that let me know how I am doing relative to everyone else. |
