I suppose that's why they do it, the hardware is cheap thanks to mass production. The ETI might however communicate by sending out engraved golden record discs with the word "hello" (a word deliberately constructed by Graham Bell, btw, to make his first phone audible) repeated in different ways. Sounds extremely unlikely, but it has actually happened! So there's really no reasonable restraint on what we should expect. | |
