"Biology and Technology: Comparing Information Transmission Speed"

A study led by astrophysicist Manasvi Lingam estimates that the biosphere, the sum total of Earth's life, currently moves more information per second than the technosphere, the sum total of human technology. By 2113, however, the rapid expansion of digital technology is projected to surpass the biosphere in terms of information transfer. This raises questions about the implications for the evolution of our species and the planet, highlighting the power of a global perspective on information and life.
