I voted yes with a sense of hope rather than 100% conviction that "they" are out there. I think the Universe would just be so much more interesting if it is populated with more intelligent life other than ourselves.

I do believe however, that any Aliens we meet will most likely be machines. Most likely the civilisation itself will be more of a machine one than a biological one. I also think that convergence between ourselves and our technology is going to happen. With regards to exploring space at least, it would solve alot of the issues plaguing purely human space travel.
