imageLet’s see what other gems  Carl Sagan, has to offer us  He is already this week’s IT Thought of the Day Quote of the Week Series author.  Dr. Sagan was a noted proponent of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project.  He firmly believed that somewhere in our universe there was other life just waiting to be found and known.  I often wonder about the analogs between that search and information assurance struggles where there are often “aliens” already inside your system, but due to the difficulty of finding them, many people refuse to believe that they exist at all.

I like Information Age quotations.  I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week.  I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time. This week it will be a funny quote.  You can read more about the author at Wikipedia.

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
