If they ARE here why is it they do not make themselves known in public. Surely they could if they wanted. So why don't they want to?
When you think about it, time travel seems far more likely to be encountered than extraterrestrial visitation.
It's not so much a matter of technology as a matter of "new" physics.
but looking at the asymptotic curve in our technology, it is almost certain that it will be achieved

Perhaps both, but looking at the asymptotic curve in our technology, it is almost certain that it will be achieved, and if that is true, it exists now, even though we cannot yet perform it. Vallee dabbled with the idea, but never made any official statement about his true beliefs in that.

I disagree completely. Especially when we already have the latter and the former is merely an assumption.
What on Earth gives anyone the idea that time travel is more likely than physical travel?
Physical travel is something that we do everyday. Time travel is not.
Humans are still too prehistoric in their beliefs. We are still having the caveman conversation.

ARPANET was one of the first packet-switching networks, not specifically the technology that is the foundation of today's Internet.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was an early packet switching network and the first network to implement the protocol suite TCP/IP. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet.

They are here alright. Some of the recent Wikileaks releases show that they are being kept from the public..
