Our civilization can be classified as a type 0.6. (2) A type 0 civilization only uses the energy and raw materials it extracts from organic matter and natural resources such asnwood, coal or oil. It is really primitive compared to Type I, II, III, IV, Vncivilizations. We observe how the phenomena of global warming, tides, tsunamis, earthquakes, cyclones, tornados destroy everything in their path without human beings being able to control the course of these or at least to predict them. Maybe in the span of a century we could become a type I civilization if we learn to live in peace and harmony between humans and nature. Humanity is in a very delicate balance because there is no guarantee that everything achieved as ancivilization can be perpetuated in order to become a type I civilization.
Our present planetary Internet system could be classified as a system that could be called type I if we could make a parallel with the Kardashev scale. Similarly we could apply it in parallel to an economic system that emerges to handle economies in large clusters or blocks globaly, for example the economy of the TPP cluster (Transpacific Association Agreement). Some companies or economies would be of the type I scale.
