The Internet and Human Evolution towards a Noosphere | robbdavis.com A few day's ago I posted an update about being in chinatown. It wasn't what I would consider an engaging post. It was created entirely on my cell phone, posted to the internet from my cell phone and, more than anything, it was a slice of my real time experience in that moment. That aspect of the post is, to me, extraordinarily interesting. Revolutionary is a word that's used much to often when talking about technology so I'm not going to use it here. I do believe, though, that the ability to access other people's real time experiences, as mundane as they might be individually, is evolutionary. We are living in an era where, for the first time ever, human beings have access to the knowledge from all the cultures of the world. My point is that homo sapien's continued development of connective technologies has created, in a very short time, the structures for a new evolutionary stage.
