Odds are that the stuff we broadcast is so attenuated at about 2 light years nobody will hear the signal anyway. Add on that there 1. has to be someone who can listen 2. they need the equipment to hear us and 3. they need to be listening in our direction. Think where we were 100-150 years ago. Now think about where we are going to be in 100+ more years. The odds area against us in the near-present, but one day I hope we find something out there.
