If you were an intelligent civilization on another planet

Would you want anything to do with our planet? Good chance the answer is "no". Someday, when we tell people that we lived on the planet earth, there will be a hush. And then when you say you lived in the time of Gordon B. Hinckley and Thomas Monson, you will be able to hear a pin drop. And then when you say you were the original Mike Waters, well, let's just leave that to our imagination... |

When are we going to get better satellites so we can facebook our inter-galactic friends? I won't know if I want to visit another planet until I read their status updates.

But that won't give you the full monotonous picture of their existence. You need to follow them on Twitter for a few months to get all the worthless minutia.
