Last week’s question concerned the 60th anniversary of the Roswell, NM alleged alien spaceship cover-up. We asked if you thought there was indeed intelligent life beyond our planet. Apparently, our INSIDERs are an optimistic group: 89 percent of you said you did believe, while only 11 percent said no. Here’s more of what you had to say:
“Carl Sagan many years ago demonstrated that the chance of Earth being visited by an intelligent race was extremely remote due to our location in the universe. However, he did not rule it out totally because there may be some technology we don’t even know about that would make this a possibility.” - G. Goldbogen
“Yes, there probably is (or has been or will be) intelligent life somewhere in the universe. The question is whether we can ever detect it or travel there. Where in space or time is/was/will it be? A billion years ago or a billion years from now? Within 100 light-years distance from us? Thus, although intelligent life may well exist, we may never be able to detect them or communicate with them.” - Dr. M.J. Yoder
“If you mean violence-loving societies hell-bent on self-destruction, there are almost certainly billions, but intelligent ones? Probably none. We’re a universal blueprint.” - J. Adams
“So far, there has been no credible evidence of intelligent life beyond our planet. Frankly, I’m not convinced there’s credible evidence of intelligent life on OUR planet.” - M. Avery
This week’s question concerns a new survey conducted by Research in Motion, maker of the Blackberry, that found an average Blackberry user converts one hour of downtime to productive time each day, and increases overall team efficiency by 38 percent. But, the study also showed that the devices have a negative impact on the balance between work and life by making it more difficult to switch off from the office. What do you think? Do these devices contribute to working more and having less leisure and family time? Submit your answer here.
