I seen that movie & it didn't turn out very well... eek

On a side note, anybody care to speculate why mankind has been around for a long long time & has only harnessed what I'd call primitive technologies in the last hundred years or so?

Why the sudden leap in technology in just the past 50 years?
We haven't even had rubber tires for very long & now we're doing research with nano technology? Is alien technology too far of a stretch? Maybe SETI has already been contacted? Maybe we have recovered alien air/space craft? Do you think it would ever become public knowledge?
