If there are different life forms out there, are we asking for trouble? What would Spock advise us?

It is interesting to witness the advancements in artificial Intelligence and laser beams. The technology seems quite similar to episodes of Star Trek. I think Spock would say "with the unknown there is always a potential for danger." Let's hope there aren't Klingons and Romulans intercepting our data. Or, Chinese and Russians. Before I die, I would love to be BEAMED to any city in the world. That certainly beats a cramped airplane!
