Where is the Most Information Exchanged in the World?
Have you ever wondered where the most information is exchanged in the world? Well, it’s not on the internet as you might think. According to a study by scientists from the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Washington, the answer is actually in the biosphere – the world’s ecosystems.
Biomass vs. Tecnosfera
The study found that a large portion of the biomass on Earth is made up of prokaryotes, or single-celled organisms. These organisms communicate and exchange information with each other in complex networks, far exceeding the amount of information exchanged on the internet.
- According to the study, prokaryotes make up 90% of all biomass on Earth.
- The amount of information exchanged between prokaryotes is estimated to be billions of times greater than the amount of information exchanged on the internet.
- The study suggests that by 2011, the amount of information on the internet will have surpassed the amount of biomass on Earth.
Tecnosfera vs. Biosfera
So, what does this mean? It means that if you were to look at the Earth from space in 2100, you would see a technological signal before you would see a biological one.
