Life in the Universe

I think I figured out how the Universe could be teeming with life.  It’s not our kind of water based life.  It’s  supercomputer robotic life.  It can live on planets hostile to us and travel years in interstellar space; powered by electric sources in no need for food or creature comforts. 

How could they arise?  Creatures like ourselves created them.  We are fast on track to produce computers powerful enough and intelligent enough to be considered a form of life.  Our computer technology has only been around for about 60 years.  Consider where it might be in another hundred. 

Once intelligent robots learn to reproduce themselves, they will be a form of life.  We are the evolutionary link to the ultimate intelligent life in the Universe..

So, where are they?  Their communications are probably not detectable by our technology.  They could be on a planet with no sign of biological life.  Maybe there are flying saucers after all.  They would be capable of maneuvers we could never stand.  They may be watching us with no desire to contact..
