The term noosphere 
was coined by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in the 1920's based on concepts he developed with Vladimir Vernadsky and Édouard Le Roy.
The term was derived from the Greek νοῦς (nous "mind") and σφαῖρα (sphaira "sphere") in an attempt to create a new conceptual paradigm.
Their idea was that we could think of the planetary existence of the earth as a "geosphere". Upon that rock floating in space, life appeared, and created an intricately networked "biosphere".
Vernadsky, LeRoy, and Teilhard prophesied that, humans, as conscious beings in this biosphere, could potentially create a third sphere of interconnectedness, those of ideas, what they called the _noosphere_.
This concept was formed well before the internet connected billions of people - Connected Thinking that enables the sharing of ideas as never before. An infrastructure that has begun to enable a new level of creative connection that opens new doors to Hidden Potential.
We continue to explore this potential of a creative noosphere to accelerate opportunities for Collective Patterning.
