"Essentially, a technomarker is anything that we could potentially observe which would reveal the presence of technology elsewhere in the Universe. It's the ultimate clue to find intelligent life out there. Unfortunately, interstellar distances are so great that, with our current technology, we can only hope to detect very large objects or structures, something comparable to the size of a planet."
"In this sense, the Clarke Exobelt is interesting because it's the first technomarker that looks for currently existing technology. And it goes both ways too. Humanity's Clarke Belt is probably too sparsely populated to be detectable from other stars right now (at least with technology like ours). But in the last decades we have been populating it at an exponential rate. If this trend were to continue, our Clarke Belt would be detectable from other stars by the year 2200. Do we want to be detectable? This is an interesting debate that humanity will have to resolve soon.
