Agreed. For example you ever see movies where aliens invade the earth because they want gold? Many people would say, "Weal isn't that a least realistic reason aliens would invade earth?"

WRONG! The more technology increases, the more valuable gold becomes, as nothing in the (at least to real world humanity) known table of elements is a better candidate for electric components then gold. Many of you are probably thinking "Weal aren't they more likely to go to mars or the asteroid belt and dig for gold their so they don't have to bother us?"

Wrong! No one wants to dig up their own gold. They will take one look at earth and say "Lets just go enslave these savages and make them dig it up for us, besides, less risk of losing valuable equipment when the air is breathable."
