While it is unlikely that 2 different races would meet with similar levels of technology (at least similar enough to have a war rather than a massacre) Its more likely that humans could end up fighting other humans. Think of Star Wars )rebels trying to break away from the Empire)
And habitable planets seem rare enough to fight over so far.

WTF is the point of an online word processor?

Every smartphone has enough CPU power and memory to run a WP onboard, the only thing they haven't got is a big enough display and a keyboard, and having thte program online isn't going to fix that.

Maybe there is a point in having your document stored in 'the cloud' (unless you want privacy)

I thought there were 2 of them

Flight Data recorder (records all the instrument readings and control inputs from the pilot)
Cockpit Voice recorder (rocords the voices of the pilot and copilot saying "shit"

Generally the first one is the most important source of information.
