You are operating from an erroneous assumption. You are not taking into consideration that everything that has been accomplished has been done
through hard work and a lot of sweat. You ignore the vast amount of r&d. No matter how much you seem to wish it, no alien technology is evident and
certainly not from the Roswell landing since no UFO crashed there. Give humans credit for the results you think are due to aliens.

Who would have thought
Lots of people...a LONG time ago.
Using 1's and 0's as Computer language?
John Vincent Atanasoff, in 1939.
Who would have thought of all the bus lanes on a
circuit board to make the data work properly?
Paul Eisler, who came up with the idea in the early 1930's. It did not enter into mainstream use
until 1948.
that a keyboard would be able to transmit
letters, numbers & words onto a screen as soon as we type?
The modern computer keyboard is an offshoot of the typewriter, which was first made
commercially available in 1866. CRT computer monitors have are based
on the Cathode Ray Tube, which was invented by
ferdinand Braun in 1897. Allen DuMont
enhanced the basic CRT design for use in televisions in 1931. The modern flat-screen displayis a
liquid crystal display which has been around since at least 1975.
All of this is -=OLD=- technology. These cars that you're so excited about how advanced their "alien technology" is are still mostly using
variations of the internal combustion engine which was patented in 1838.
That's almost TWO HUNDRED YEARS old.

I tend to believe that there was some influence in the explosion of technology, but where Col Corso is concerned, I have to wonder about a lot of his
book. If we believe him, at a time where Security is paramount in military operations, a guard he bowled with just happened to look inside a case
that contained an alien in Kansas, then told his officer buddy about it and showed him. I guess it's possible, but every military crate I opened
came with a lot of screws to keep people from just looking in.
But then the Col goes on to tell us that he had a hand in other historical incidents such as knowing that Kennedy was going to be assasinated.
Perhaps if I hadn't known guys who thrived on telling "tall tales" as we called them after the fact, then maybe I'd believe easier. By doing it
that way, you reduce the chances of being caught in a lie.
One instructor I had, claimed to have knowledge of the F-117. It was unnamed at the time and being promoted by Testors as the F-19. He told me that
the F-19 was what was being reported in Area 51 and that it looked exactly like the model. I never got to see and ask him about it after the fact.
But in his defense. It's just possible that there is an F-19 out there somewhere. Many times the military with have competing aircraft producers
build aircraft and then decide after there performances are evaluate. Then they quietly retire the unpurchased model.
And to those who say, "what do they have to gain by lying?" I say "publicity." Some people just need attention. Not to mention that many
families of these whistleblowers families get their attention fix time and time again on various shows. I don't know if any of them get paid, but if
there's a chance or a book deal, then that's another motive.
But having seen Sci Fi shows promote the ideas that it was Roswell that gave us diodes, transisiters, NVGs, LEDs and Fiber Optics. I have a tendency
to believe it's possible.

Col. Corso is the last person I would use as any kind of reference. Google "col. corso hoax" and you'll get close to 63,000 results! Not
all of them support a hoax but enough do to make one think twice about his claims. In his book he tells the reader that he was not a witness to
everything he relates. Where does one draw the line?

I love your Avatar pic. What better way to introduce us than through a friendly animated chap with an Aussie accent sellin car insurance.
We arent all that bad...at least the scientists, contractors and military got use to us pretty quickly.

Micro-processing / Semi-conductors and the technology that's advanced the engineering and manufacturing of this industry. That's what you've seen,
not alien technology.

I believe the seemingly "fast" advances in technology are simply the result of a growing population using technology that exponentially increases
R&D. I put "fast" in quotes because it is hard to really say whether we are advancing slow or fast unless we have another species (ET) to compare
our advancements to. For all we know, we could be advancing rather slowly in the grand scheme of things.
The more tools we invent, the more tools we have in our arsenal to bring about more inventions. In the modern world, computers are probably the first
thing that comes to mind when thinking about state of the art technology. Think of all the ways they speed up data analyzation, record keeping,
communication, etc. and all the things we can use them for that scientists and inventors in the pre-20th century world would have killed to have.
IMO, this is simply a natural stage of evolution of an intelligent species. We had the stone age, bronze age, iron age, etc. Each one brought about
new technology and new ideas which, at the time, probably seemed just as amazing and "out of this world" to the inhabitants of those time periods as
our latest technology does to us.
Im waiting for the day that they invent a way to hook an iPod up to itself. Can you say "implosion followed by a black hole"?

To me the leap in technology from the Roswell case came in the 70-90s. The first home computer was primitive to say the least, and then it seemed to
go from there. They had a programme over here in England about a family going from the 70's into the 00's using technology through those periods.
The host said that was a technological boom.
It isn't easy to breakdown alien technology, but you just have to go online and see what they are planning for the future. In my lifetime, I have
seen primitive technology, which by the way, was faulty and not user-friendly to technology that is accessible to every human being. The internet is
one such example.
I am of the belief that they had this technology back in the 60's and held onto it, before they released it to the masses for profit. Also, I know
that soon they will have biotechnological computers that have an interface, where the computer can communicate with the user. Similar to KITT and the
computers on STAR TREK. Also, I believe that holographic interfacing will be more advanced before the year 2012. Also, I believe that our technology
has come from advanced races.
Before and even into the 70's, technology was slow and cumbersome. Our technology now advances month to month rather than through years or decades.
This technology and the patents have to have an origin. I think only 9.5% is inspired by people who are given the information from an outside source.
For example, in the early 90's, I drew up a rough diagram of a fusion reactor. I had not taken any courses in physics, or quantum mechanics. It just
came to me; an image in my mind of the reactor, and I quickly put it down on paper. The original diagram which was hand-written disappeared, but I was
able to remember it through my photographic memory and drew the diagram up on computer. I will have to find the disc that I put it on so I can show
you. Anyway, while surfing, I came across technology that used the interface which I drew up. I was gob smacked. I still think that I was given the
information from an outside source. I think it was not for me to gain; but to show me that there is an outside influence to the advancement of our
technology.
I believe our advancement in technology is based on alien technology, as I believe that NASA and other bodies are imparting some technology to the
public for monitoring and for other foul uses. Why I say NASA is that there is a reason that the space station is being built and is quite large. They
have been monitoring the ships that enter Earth's atmosphere. Also, they are building advance weaponry. It is all over the internet and the
advancements in robotics is astounding. I believe within the next 10 years that they will develop fully interactive AI's. I can see them using cloned
tissue (i.e. brain cells, or stems) to integrate with an AI's system that communication between man and machine will be as if sci-fi has been a
precursor to what is to come.
This is just a few thoughts on my feelings on our technological advances. I don't think that my opinion suits everyone, and I suppose there are
others with scenarios that are different to my own.

I find this interesting as well. It would be something if the exponential computer advances that are speeding up as we go is just an impatient
reaction to incrimentalism by the powers that be. Of course, they could easily exist in parallel as computers aren't the only example, but our
massive boosts in technological advance speed in the 20th Century is a strange enough event in and of itself. Anomalous for recorded history and all
that. Perhaps it would be stranger if aliens were not the cause of the technology jumps.
