If a planet had life and was only 100 years more advanced than us, they would be able to contact us and communicate with us.

The obvious problem with that position is conceivably, that other, more advanced otherworldly civilizations might be so cosmically distant that they cannot communicate with us-- yet.

Perhaps, the "letter is in the mail" and just hasn't reached us yet. We've been sending such "letters", at least since the invention of radio.
