Good point. And if the aliens use digital communication (maybe with a bit of encryption and DRM on top of it :p), it will only show up as noise after analog conversion.

Even digital data uses a carrier wave.

The problem with this idea is that the human brain does not react well to large amounts of negative data. Eventually, the mental "squelch" of the viewer will drop to the point where they will see a pattern whether one exists or not.

I could see sending flagged data to humans, but this project is in "real-time". I think this is just a publicity gimmick.

Hold the phone! If he can't program, he shouldn't be designing the entire system! I can't imagine anyone would ever hire an architect with no development experience.

I would suggest the Business Analyst role. You can use what you have learned to help develop clear and complete requirements. This is probably the most important aspect of a project, but it doesn't get much attention.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
