Our technology changing so rapidly that we couldn't be average. On a geological or cosmic timescale, civilized humanity as we know it has been around and probably will be around for a blink of an eye. So, no, we're not average, because even if something like us might exist, might have existed, or might someday exist elsewhere, at any given time chances are it's either stuck in a primordial stage, or it's moved on to something else. Taking the long view, we're not even average for Earth-based life.
