"The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us." - Calvin, Calvin & Hobbes

One of my favorite quotes regarding the existance of aliens on Earth. While I do think it would be arrogant and presumptuous to assume we are the only intelligent life in the universe, I also think the same way when it comes to aliens visiting us. What makes us so special?

Is it the same reason anything Cybertronian will always land on Earth, regardless of its initial position or location?

we see stuff that's amazing, like computer technology, and say "it must be TEH ALIENZ!" but if you do minimal research of the development of computers, you can track their evolution step by step from Alan Turing's first version in WWII to today's iphones and satelites.

That irks the shit out of me too, especially since I'm in the industry and actually studied the history of computers and technology. There is a logical and natural progression with the science surrounding it and no one made an otherwise unexplanable leap like those theories seem to claim.
