Limited how? Our tech could be cutting edge in the whole universe. In the present time, of course.
Time is such a universal bitch-

Setting aside all the 'chariots of the gods' speculation another question that's often asked is: "why haven't we heard from anyone else if they're really out there?"
At first glance it's a fair enough question.
We can communicate with anyone else on Earth perceptually instantaneously. We can even send signals back and forth to remote satellites and spacecraft, although with increasing delays the farther out they are.
But one has to remember the actual enormity of our solar system, never mind the universe itself. We've been experimenting with electromagnet energy for a couple of centuries and broadcasting evidence of intelligence for about half that long.
For the earliest signals we've sent to reach the other side of our own galaxy will take approximately 100,000 years. Planets far older than Earth are likely to be found near the galactic core, so let's call it 50,000 years to reach them.
50,000 years minus the let's be generous and call it 200 years that we've been making noise.
That's the soonest we can reasonably expect anyone to even notice that we're here based solely on transmissions emanating from our planet.
The only relevant question today isn't "where are they?", it's "will we still be here when our signals reach them?".
One thing at a time folks.
First we have to ensure our long-term survival... then we can worry about receiving our eventual guests.

It's probably more about a Star Trek type directive, but not necessarily for our benefit.
Cattle aren't butchered from within the herd or in the pastures. They're given a comfortable existence with all they need to thrive, then quietly led away and carved up.
Otherwise the meat is tough or undesirable.

Now that I believe. Are you waiting for them to come back? I mean dude, you were rejected and brought back.
Maybe you're the reason they haven't invaded. Hillbillies saved the planet. Who knew you were heroes?
I did not.
