The technosphere is a new evolutionary state of the biosphere

The concepts of man and the technosphere are closely interrelated. After the emergence of people on Earth, they began to adapt to the environment and exert a certain influence on it. Initially, it was insignificant, but gradually increased due to the development of science and technology. As a result, a person transformed the biosphere into himself using technical means to meet his own needs. There are 3 stages of development of the biosphere. The first includes time from the birth of life on the planet to the industrial revolution, in which intervention was minimal. The second continues to the present day. This stage is characterized by active intervention in the biosphere. The third stage is a future state in which the impact will be controlled by people.

What is the technosphere

This is a human-made, in order to protect against the negative impact of the environment, the biosphere.

During evolution, man developed various methods of protection against natural hazards, and later on his own activities. As a result, people significantly improved their living conditions and increased life expectancy.

There are other definitions. So, the technosphere is a collection of operating and inactive technical facilities, as well as products of their activities that exist in space and on the planet Earth. The products of activity are changes in the earth's crust, soil, atmosphere, chemical composition of water. Theoretically, the technosphere can evolve indefinitely, not only deep into the geosphere, but also into space.

The technosphere is a system that obeys internal laws and laws of structure, functioning, development. That is, it can self-develop. Autonomy of technology is shown. The robots, automatic lines, computer self-adjusting stations are created.

The technosphere is a synonym for the noosphere, that is, the new evolutionary state of the biosphere, where the decisive factor of development is human activity.

The pace of development is constantly increasing. The growth of scientific knowledge, the constant increase in the level of technology have a strong negative impact on nature, which leads to a number of acute problems. These include the constant increase in the volume of production waste, the death of many organisms as a result of environmental pollution, and others.

The state of the technosphere

At present, the pace of transformation has become so rapid that the methods of protection are greatly lagging behind. After the receipt of various biological and chemical substances, new types of energy, a need arose to comprehend security issues, proactively assess future innovations and develop the foundations for the safe development of people.

The spontaneous development of the technosphere entails a threat to the safe existence of man. We need to ensure environmental, industrial, industrial, information security in the technosphere, take measures to reduce harm from emergencies of anthropogenic and natural character. The main harm is caused as a result of production. Carriers of harmful factors in production are biological and chemical objects of labor, machinery, energy sources, etc.

Now technology and science are aimed at meeting the needs of people and maximizing the exploitation of natural resources. This entails catastrophic consequences. Scientific and technological progress led to the depletion of natural resources, the deformation of the natural cycle of substances, the change in the regenerative mechanisms of the biosphere.

It is necessary to take care of nature as carefully as possible, to use various treatment plants, to create technical devices that cause minimal damage to the environment, as well as technologies for recycling and processing of waste, etc.
