Personal background
I am a 20 year old college student at the local community college in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. I am currently a history major, recently converted from Computer Science my first love, since there are not many jobs available and many students studying for this profession.


For Hobbies I do Civil War Reenacting and I also play a Massively Multiplayer Online Game called Dark Age of Camelot. I play a few other games as well, including but not limited to Battlefield 1942, Civ III, Medieval Total War. I'm looking forward to Planetside being released this May.


Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Extraterrestrial life has to exsist. The universe is vast, and while the window for life is so very small, there are many planets, solarsystems and galaxies that look promising for the exsistence of life. I'm not really sure how humans will discover these other lifeforms, since there are so many places to explore in the universe I would have to guess totally by accident, or finding some message beacon that leads us to their planet. As far as benefits, it's hard to say for sure. There's the general sci-fi view on it, of either hostile or friendly, bringing us destruction or advancement, it's impossible to say.


2. We should and as far as I know we have at least one messanger beacon out there. But also a satellite that is drifting away from our own solar system, perhaps to be found by some other life form.


3. I use SETI@home to keep my computer productive. I hold the hope, a slight as it might be, that this project will find something worthwhile, and we would be able to find a contact from deep space.
