| Personal background |
|---|
| 31 year old college student at the University of Alaska Anchorage. After graduation at the end of this year I am going on to become (I hope) a State Trooper here in Alaska. I love to play with computers (I built the one I use at home.) I love playing online games because they are diverting and because you get to meet new people around the globe. I also like using my netcam and viewing other netcams at sites like tv.earthcam.com or www.camarades.com because it is like bringing the world closer to home. After all, if we are going to try and get in touch with entities that are new to us, why not try it here on earth first :) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I was estatic when I found out about SETI@home. I've always thought there was somebody else out there. I think they stated it best in the movie Contact when they said that if we are the only ones in the Universe it would be an awful waste of space. And to think that by using my computer I am getting to help, in my own small way, try and find one of those voices in the dark. I think it would be great to finally meet someone else. Skeptics keep saying that if there was anyone really out there we would have made contact by now. Playing a game of Marco Polo in 20x20 room is hard enough, we're doing it in a whole galaxy. Considering our own level of technology and how big the Universe is I think we need to be a little patient. We can't just broadcast a signal to the other side of our own galaxy and expect an immediate reply like on a telephone, so why should we expect that of others. And quite frankly, if they are technologically superior to us and can travel here to earth easily, don't you think they might want to secretly take a look see before just hopping out of their ship and saying hi. I think that they are out there and that it is only a matter of time before we find each other. |
