I know this article is about robots, but I think it's much more likely that any alien race that might be out there would exist is some way we would not be able to comprehend. Or these aliens could be so totally different we may not even realize they are intelligent/sentient. ( ex: many of the alien species from scifi shows, or any really out-there scifi novel ) On the note of us some day getting "upgrades" of some sort, it is already happening now, and as time passes it will go from needed upgrades (prosthesis, artificial hearts/eyes, etc.) to aesthetic. (super senses, physical enhancements/replacements, retinal HUD, etc.) Who knows where the future will take us, like "truth" said about his grannie, go back a century or so, and you never could have predicated where we are today. So obviously some of the things we imagine, dream, predict or hope for will happen, but the truly memorable things that after they happen are noted as important points in history or technological leaps; we will never see coming. My personal prediction is that the next huge thing tech-whys will be an "aesthetic" enhancement of some type. just
