A little disappointing actually. This talk could have been given 15 years ago when I first ran a SETI at home app on my PC. Not much has changed.

Not much has changed.

Save for:

- Better tech
- Better funding
- Better equipment
- Clearer focus
- Ability to participate in "SETI at home", creating the world's largest supercomputer dedicated to a single task
- Knowledge of expolanets and their frequency
- Ability to observe more exoplanets
