![Star Makers - Cosmos Magazine has a long (but worth reading) article by Michio Kaku on what it will take for Earthlings to evolve into a true Type I civilization, and what it might do to us if we were to come in contact with a Type II or Type III civilization elsewhere in our galactic neighborhood.
This question is no longer just a matter of idle speculation. Soon, humanity may face an existential shock as we discover Earth-sized twins of our planet orbiting nearby solar systems. This may usher in a new era in our relationship with the universe, so that we will never see the night sky in the same way.

Then we will ponder with wonder, as Sagan did, what an intelligent civilization a millions years ahead of ours will look like.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx6ujyf7ok1qiiz3qo1_500.jpg)
