Quote:
This latest work argues that if we factor in the exponential rate of
technology and consider the possibility that non-biological
intelligence is common, then the observation horizon shrinks
considerably. It could be as short as a decade or two. If that's the
case, then our chance of detecting an alien species is essentially
nil. Perhaps the answer to Fermi's paradox of the Great Silence is the
Dead Internet Theory on a cosmic scale.

Sounds like a reasonable suggestion to me.
