| I'm a 21yr old student from Atlanta, Ga living in Virginia at the moment. I got interested in participating in SETI@home thanks to the movie and TV series Stargate. I now have 6 computers at my home that are running the software, doing a work-unit about every 5 hours per machine. Not incredibly fast I know, but it helps. At college I am a computer science major, for fun I read sci-fi/fantasy, play video games, hang out, and yes even party. Of course I'm aware that it is strange a computer nerd goes to parties, but I like to be different. My hope for running this software is to be the unlikely one to find THE signal. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I completely believe that extraterrestrial life exists and I believe that we will not discover them, but that they will discover us. The benefits are to unite the world, new technologies, and great exploration potential. The dangers are many, we generally assume that ET is going to be enlightened and benevolent, but there is every possibility that ET is not. Not to mention the fact that Hitler's first speech to be broadcasted on TV was also the first broadcast to enter space. That must give extraterrestrials a good image of us I'm sure, haha. I think we should transmit a beacon for others to find, as for the information, it would need to be something simple, but I don't know what. I run SETI@home because I believe there is someone out there transmitting to find other civilizations on other planets, including out own. I think the project is great, just a shame there isn't more funding, and if I had the money, I would definately donate. No suggestions at this point, just keep up the good work! |
