Are we the parasite inside the technology that communicated with alien life, as alien life could see it?

Or do we assume they see "us"?

Technology develops through time, we come and go, unless we represent ideals of advancement of managing technology, right, and even then how would alien life know what to trust?

I think we have no way of properly dealing with an advanced technological species, so our best chance is to do a good thing with what we have....be consistent....not destroy our own planet....that sort of thing.

Hmmm...who r dey talkin 2?

N wat bout who r v talkin 2?

B it d phone, satellite signal, morse code or a blinker.
It wuld still b conscious self aware intelligence conversing with a similar kind of host.

Trust is a heavy word...both sides wud have nuthin 2 gain n evrythin 2 lose.
Hence, trust wud b formed.

V do have a Chance!
