The Kardashev Scale says how much energy is needed to control something. We are Type 0.724 on the Kardashev Scale.

Type 0.0 Minimal Civilisations

0.1 107 watts Hominids appear in Africa that evolve into humans who move to other parts of the world.
0.2 108 watts Roaming hunter-gatherers explore vast areas, then build boats to explore the world. Ability to make fire and the wheel is invented. Egalitarian economy and barter systems emerge as tribes meet.
0.3 109 watts Politic hierarchies emerge with economic inequalities and a division of labor. Building the first structures. We still think the sun revolves around the earth.
0.4 1010 watts Mercantile economies lead to market economies and democracy. The oceans are discovered via wooden ships. Early science, first telescopes, understanding of magnetism, printing press, storage and mass production of grain. Empires extend their control over peoples who are not culturally, ethnically or geographically within their normal jurisdiction, with a goal of economic dominance over rival empires. Industrial revolution emerges with steam engines.
0.5 1011 watts Liberal democracies that give the vote to all citizens. Explosion of science leads to combustion engines, flight and mass produced land vehicles. Computer revolution and related technologies emerge. Capitalism and free markets emerge.
0.6 1012 watts First humans on the moon. Computers are networked and mass produced due to transistor miniaturization and integrated circuit boards. Nuclear power is embraced for good and bad.
0.7 1013 watts Our current civilization. Global network / internet. First particle accelerators. Digital and data revolution. Nano technology. Early space race towards nearby planets and moons. Globally linked renewable energy sources to replace nuclear fission and coal plants.
0.8 1014 watts Ability to choose what your children look like due to improved genetic engineering. First moon and Mars bases. Quantum computers. Utilization of Dark Matter and Energy. Fusion power becomes primary source of energy. Sending miniature objects to nearby stars.
0.9 1015 watts The ability to fully control energy and weather systems on Earth which is a possible ecumenopolis. Bases around the solar system and harnessing of materials from asteroids. Sending the first ships to nearby stars.

Type 1.0 Planetary Civilisations

1.0 1016 watts Ability to completely control the Earth and Moon and possibly prevent aging.

1.2 1018 watts Colonization of the moon, ability to manipulate genes so that many common diseases are no longer a problem.
1.3 1019 watts Space lifts, colonization of other planets, first invisibility, and the ability to upload brains to computers.
1.4 1020 watts Interplanetary travel and first step to terraforming.
1.5 1021 watts Possible discovery of aliens (if within home galaxy), discovered how consciousness works (possibly earlier) and what dark energy is.

2.3 1029 watts Holograms Become Real. This may happen much, much earlier with the use of nanotechnology, but the creation of metamaterials that serve the same purpose are here now.
2.4 1030 watts First object sent to intergalactic space.
2.5 1031 watts First easily noticeable time travel using relativistic time dilation.
2.6 1032 watts Perfection of a virtual reality that looks and feels real. 1,000,000 stars colonized.
