E.T. a machine

Then again a species with an long long life span would not need to build machines to colonize other worlds at STL speeds.

A highly advanced civilization may incorporate artificial intelligent robotics in to its own organic bodies or even minds and vice versa.

Lets not forget the opposite idea an advanced species creating an organic artificial intelligence.

A species that evolved in space, or underwater, or in the atmosphere of a gas giant might not even develop technology.

A species like ours that made a few choices in technological innovation could have developed manned rocketry before electronics, and colonized space with slide rules and spreadsheets.

A species with a feudalistic society might stifle technological progress past a certain point to allow its rulers to maintain power over the masses.

The possibilities are endless. But we got to go out there and find out.
