Actually I think we're still a type 0...type 1 signifies our ability to harness our sun's powers (fusion), we are close though.
I think so far it would be extremely difficult if not impossible for another planet somewhere out there to notice us....

I understand that they like us may be curious of the universe that surrounds them. However one of my key questions is, why would they look in our direction with their curious minds, without knowing that our little planet is even here?
Say they use even more advanced techniques for looking for other worlds than we do, wouldn’t they need to know to use these techniques in our direction first before finding us, and would they see us past our larger sister planets to even find us?
Wouldnt it depend how advanced the species that would seek out us are.
Well, those are my key points, it isn’t that I don’t believe aliens contacting us is a possibility, I just believe it is rather implausible. Just what they would have to go through to find our little planet alone is a huge challenge to overcome, let alone what they would think of our species once they get here.

Ironically, contrary to yours negative expectations, they have visited, explored and colonized the Earth since thousands of years ago, as testified by 9 in 10 ancient civilizations. Who do you suppose that, the Sumerians, Egyptians, Hindus, Mayans, Incas and many others, were referring to, when they reported "gods coming from stars"??? Who do you suppose that were the "angels, nefilins, anakins" reported on Bible???
The galaxy is immense and narrowing down the search criteria is efficient. In theory, SR craft would be sent to those places and would replicate. Some would remain to study planets over periods of millenia...they would take many forms. The replicants would travel from there to other systems that fulfilled the criteria. They would have at least AI and adapt to new lifeform signatures to extend and reevaluate past and future searches.

The Human race is cancer and worthless......nothing good will ever come from us......at this time we are too greedy, violent and self centered......time is the greatest cleanser there is....in time we will be no more and hopefully another more benign race will sprout up from our ashes.
