摘要：The term technosphere means the planetary system of creation, formation and development of technologies. Evolution of this planetary system leads not only to higher systemization of its own elements and subsystems but also to the most varied structure of the slobal system. New technical forms spontaneously fill the gaps in the rapidly growing space of culture. So technosphere spreads to height, width as well as depth. On the one hand it has general tendency to quick divergent evolution and on the other to integrity and victory over the whole ecological niche of the life. Although, the danger for man and culture is obscure: slow evolution of life on the Earth could have liquidate a part of primary natural conditions that enabled its rise (e.g. oxygen-free atmosphere). However, rapid cultural evolution will depend essentially up to the end on the natural conditions that made its origin possible. It stands or falls together with the biological prosperity of man as a species who can well prosper only in the biosphere similar to that once produced him.
