Reckon we'll all be extinct before technology is sufficiently advanced to make contact though. The best hope we have is of finding microbial life elsewhere in the solar system.
Due to rates of technological expansion, if it's possible to create the technology then we should see it easily within human lifetime. The only problem is can we develop it before we destroy the earth or find another planet to live on.

But when an indisputable alien life form is finally discovered, that will be a seismic event, as then we will have proof that life has 'happened' elsewhere, and twice within a cosmic blink of an eye would make it certain that life elsewhere is actually abundant.
