Last time, we talked about a Type F civilization under the Information Mastery Scale. Today, we will be looking at a Type G civilization and some of its defining characteristics!
According to Sagan, a Type G civilization is one that processes 10^12 unique bits of information. With this kind of information availability, this civilization would be able to achieve many great feats. For example, the use of combustion engines, steam locomotives, steamboats, and steamships would completely mobilize it to travel across its entire home planet at a much faster pace than ever before, similar to the advances made during our industrial revolution. It would also be able to build better buildings and structures using engineered materials such as stainless steel, reinforced concrete, and Portland cement.
