Question of the Day: Do You Think Computers Were Built Using Alien Technology?

With aliens being all the rage in the news recently, it got me thinking about the age old debate about the existence of aliens and the impact they may or may not have had on our own technological advancements. Chances are you probably have a strong opinion one way or the other about tiny green men and the incidents at Roswell, so here is a chance to air them out. So, my question to you is: Do you believe that aliens exist? And if so, do you believe that we have put some of their technology to use in our own devices?

    I thought a recent blockbuster movie (without giving too much away for those who haven’t seen it) proved beyond a reasonable doubt that aliens do exist.

    I don’t think we have their technology or at least haven’t figured out how to use it as otherwise we would be using it to kill one another over in Iraq.

    Aliens, so called, are a real and present danger/threat. Yes, they are working with some world Governments, the “Shadow” Governments.
    We understand that what is being witnessed is not “Aliens” from other Galaxies, but rather “visitors” from other parallels/dimensions.
    Many “races” of “visitors” are here, not all are advanced in the way that humans understand. Not all “visitors” are of the “humanoid stream”, but rather “animal/hive” stream.

    Are there aliens out there? Sure! There has to be intelligent life out there… it’s scarce enough here as it is. But are we using their technology? Nope. How do I know this? Because we’d improve on it before releasing it. And I’m not getting perfect technological gadgets appearing in my to-buy list.

    Aside from that, there don’t seem to be any suspicious leaps and bounds in technology that cannot be traced back to logical conclusions based on working with what we knew at the time just before the leap.

    Well, I’ve heard of fibre optics starting off as alien technology quite a few times now. Most notably by people such as Bob Lazzar.

    His story chills me for some reason, as well as his current situation with united nuclear. I just can’t find an obvious reason for him to lie about what he claims is true and what he was involved in i.e. S4.

    It’s the not knowing and taking people’s word for things, that makes this whole debate so frustrating to us mere civilians. Why can’t governments and the ETs trust us with our reactions to knowledge of them visiting us etc…?

    I can safely say not I, or anyone I know, would just go completely mad, hysterical and psychopathic, killing everyone in our path, if we gained this knowledge.
    If all this is really true then I can only assume we are all infants, children who know absolutely zilch about anything.
    Maybe we should all start acting like babies to make their actions appear justified.

    Undoubtably ET’s exist.

    The Nazi’s were given technology by an alien race interested in exploiting Earth, that is for sure. Kind of like how rich countries give Tyrant Leaders of poor countries weapons and resources so the rich countries can draw from the assets of the oppressed country. The rich countries also have their own oppressed populations.

    I would like to say that violence definitely occurs outside of this world and we should be careful which intergalactic communities we interact with. The ones in which the American Military are interacting with are in my opinion, probably ones I would choose not to associate with. It is obvious the Grey’s are consenting to the information concealment and the deaths associated with it. Also, the term “Grey’s” could be a generalization for many ET’s who don’t wear clothes and have grey skin. FUCK.

    I bet some Grey’s are not advocating the concealment of information. I definitely do not.
