Odds are good that we are the lone source of intelligent life in our galaxy. In the universe? Not so much. The question really comes down to FTL travel. No FTL and we are likely to turn inward and look to artificial environments and virtual realities. If there is FTL then its possible that we could continue to look to the stars for a good long while.

Obligatory xkcd: https://www.xkcd.com/638/
How do we know that there isn't life teeming in our galaxy if we can't even detect neutrino/quantum/ansible/tech-undiscovered signals?
