Although this may sound like good news for those fearing alien invasion, it also makes our search for life out there harder.
Dr Drake, who founded the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) organisation in the US 50 years ago, said the digital age was effectively gagging the Earth by cutting the transmission of TV and radio signals into space.
Apparently, to observing aliens the Earth is surrounded by a 50 light year-wide ''shell'' of radiation from analogue TV, radio and radar transmissions, whereas digital signals just look like noise and are much weaker.

Aliens, which I would assume are more advanced than us, are more than likely to be looking for digital signals, and have long forgotten about analogue eons ago.
Just a thought.

You'd think the "a 50 light year-wide ''shell'' of radiation from analogue TV, radio and radar transmissions" should be a big enough clue.
