With our planet and solar system sitting out here in the boondocks of the Milky Way galaxy, 2/3 of the way to its edge, it may be a long, long time before we discover another intelligent civilization or they discover us. Those civilizations may be located amongst stars situated more toward the galactic center or in the star clusters containing more older stars than our Sun and hence a bigger chance of them having planets that developed intelligent, spacefaring beings and civilizations.
