evolutionary step. Well, to us now the means by which this
consciousness shift would accelerate has become obviouus.'
She approached the diagram and touched the diaphanous edge
between the biosphere and the noosphere circles, end it smoothly
transformed into a vibrant violet edge so that the full diagram ended
up as follows:
The vision of Teilhard de Chardin
Role of the Cybersphere
'The cybersphere is simply the link between Teilhard's noosphare
end its destination, it is the virtual space in which human
consciousness towards integration has been able to manifest itself. It
plays a role similar to the one the lithosphere has been playing for the
biosphere. All life forms use inert chemical components of the
lithosphere and reorganise them to create their physical life support
systems. When computer technicians in the 20th century thought
they were just cresting a computer network, they were in fact
creating an additional dimension and a now type or space.
'In retrospect, the last decades of the 20th century play a role similar
to what biologist have called the Cambrian explosion. Five hundred
and fifty million years ago a sudden mutation occurred in me biomass:
single-cell life saw a burst of biological diversity and complex
multi-cellular organisms proliferated. Hundreds of million years
later, the emergence of photosynthesis, and later still the joint
appearance of sexual reproduction and individual death were similar
milestones. Evolution apparently undergoes such quantum
transformations. From this perspective, life has entered digital space
using humanity as a surrogate. In the cybsrsphere life is freed from
the confines of slow molecular recombination, can travel at the speed
of light, even off this planet as needed...
