Chris got my curiosity going. I'm more of a harmony with nature type. I'd like to see us go in the direction of the movie Lightyears, also known as Gandahar. I posted it here a couple years ago. (and anew today as I can't find the previous posting).
I, however, do not determine the course of this world I live in, not on my own anyway. And so I will explore this idea of a Technosphere.
There's a tech business called TechnoSphere which does digital technology services. And other businesses as well with variants of the name.
There was an online digital environment...described by the creators as a "digital ecology." Created by Jane Prophet and Dr. Gordon Selley, TechnoSphere was a place where users from around the globe could create creatures and release them into the 3D environment. (from Wikipedia)
There's a Technosphere blog which looks interesting.
A 2016 article from Phys.org is entitled Earth's 'technosphere' now weighs 30 trillion tons, research finds.
Quote:
The technosphere is comprised of all of the structures that humans have constructed to keep them alive on the planet – from houses, factories and farms to computer systems, smartphones and CDs, to the waste in landfills and spoil heaps.
In a new paper published in the journal the Anthropocene Review, Professors Jan Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams and Colin Waters from the University of Leicester Department of Geology led an international team suggesting that the bulk of the planet's technosphere is staggering in scale, with some 30 trillion tons representing a mass of more than 50 kilos for every square metre of the Earth's surface.
Jose Arguelles wrote Time and the Technosphere.
This is called a technosphere.

I find the blog most appealing in terms of further reading. I'll be back with some findings. And I'll probably watch Lightyears again. :tea::swing:
