Let's give credit where credit is due - The Platonists from Plato to Plotinus. The "noosphere" isn't a new concept, it's hundreds upon hundreds of years old and has a rich history in the construction and blossoming of ontology itself id est the noetic world.
It's important to understand the history, context, and dialogues of noetics otherwise one might be taken advantage of. The noosphere is none other than an ecological adaptation of noetics confirmed to fit modernism ie: the inexorable march of progress narrative.
Roughly mid-20th century, noetics we're reframed as a process of externalizing/alienating internal social ontologies as if they were real things. Again, it's important to understand this so as not to commit the previous historical sins. The reason I bring this up is because people inadvertently (or purposely) externalize their personal ontologies as fact nearly all the time. There's great constructive power in "is" and anyone interacting with the "Noosphere" should be actively aware as such.
