Aliens don’t have FM Radios

I’m up watching a BBC program about SETI with scientists hoping to have a tete a tete with some green monsters anytime soon.

While I’m a tech buff yet I feel this may be worse than a search for an elephant with 10 legs. Aliens, if they exist, may not even have radio technologies; it may be beyond them or way below them.

Aliens may not even be carbon-based life. You never know if that freaking diamond ring maybe someone’s sister cut to size. Just saying. But wait, isn’t diamond carbon?
