Futurist Ray Kurzweil recently remarked on the TechTV show "The Screensavers" that in 25 years or so (I think this is optimistic personally) we'll have millions or billions of nannites enhancing our brain performance by replacing or augmenting its relatively slow chemical signaling systems with wireless communication networks that can communicate much more quickly (speed of light).

Being a non-dualist the idea that aliens communicate telepathically has always been hard to swallow for me.  (I don't believe personally in a "spirit" world that coexists with the material world in the conventional sense...an "emergent" spiritual world may exist in my current estimation but this is too much of a tangent from the current discussion to bother explaining right now)

It seems to me now, however, that given Kurzweil's predictions aliens may be able to communicate telepathically if their brains are similarly augmented by wireless networking capabilities.  Nannites seem like an efficient way to integrate computational electronics and communications capabilities with a biological species so I thought I'd drop a note to the group and see what you folks think.

Not that I'm sold on the alien idea but after watching several recent shows (Out of the Blue, UFOs: 50 Years of Denial, UFOs: Then and Now) and reading several books (UFOs and the National Security State, The Missing Times, and Disclosure) I'm starting to have more respect for the topic as a valid category of inquiry.

Just my two cents...
