6. Language and culture will forever be different and major advances in science and medicine will change how we view the world.

Do you remember the TV miniseries V ? That's my idea of what aliens would be like. They come to Earth to harvest its human population for food.

on another note I have been trying to figure out your signature for ages
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Ronald Reagan

What is the oldest profession ?

Anonymous86 I think that if our tech is better than the 'aliens' we would have to make contact with them first. Ultimately we would probably wipe them out (humans being humans and all) or enslave them, not that I am a pessismist or anything

I don't recall ever watching the TV series, but that's probably why it wasn't on tv very long because no one else watched it either :)
