War and the Advancement of Technology




Since the dawn of time, individuals and groups have settled their disputes through acts of war and violence. Although the nature and methodologies of war have changed, the devastating consequences on civilians and society remains the same, with billions of people having given their life in the name of their cause of country. Now into the 21st century, we remain no closer to subsisting in a state of peace and harmony, despite the many advances that have been made in terms of liberty, knowledge, technology and science.

The Changing Faces of War

Considering that the first recorded war took place in 27AD, the concept of armed and unarmed conflict is one of the true constants of our existence, although the current guise of war is largely unrecognizable to the ones that subsisted before. In terms of historical wars, they were largely civil and fought within a nation’s boundaries, with a view to settling power disputes that often concerned politics, territory or religion. Very rarely did conflicts traverse into international waters, and the main purpose of a navy or military unit was to protect the peripheries of the nation that they represented.

Not only do disputes now rage across different continents, but also the methodology used to wage war has diversified greatly over the last century. In this time, we have seen the advent of espionage, covert operations and military intelligence, all of which have been enabled and supported by advancements in technology. The internet age has also forced nations to protect themselves from computerized security threats, such as breaches of sensitive data or even the corruption of important electronically devices designed to disrupt, injure and kill targeted civilians.

War and the Internet Age

So what we have in effect is a broadened canvas for the nature and methods of battle, allowing those who wish to perpetrate war increasing avenues through which to pursue their aspirations. Here lies a strange anomaly of technology and the online revolution, as though one of its chief benefits within contemporary society is the access that it affords to information, knowledge and historical data, it has also served to add additional methods of conflict while improving those already in existence. So while educating and empowering on the one hand, it is also helping to destroy and debilitate on the other.

This is a reason that may cite when being cautionary about the application of technology, as it has the facility to be used towards the detriment as well as the benefit of society. However, this is no fault of the technology itself, which is created with a general function that usually improves a process or overall standard of living. It is in fact individuals who learn and cultivate ways to manipulate and abuse technology for their own ends, whether it is to acquire money fraudulently or seek to impart damage on a nation’s electronic network.

The issue with this it that it gradually changes the application of technology over time, so it is viewed as something oppressive and potentially divisive by a wide portion of society. So if the intended functions of technology and science are to improve the quality of life and the interactions within everyday existence, then these slowly become distorted by the machinations of a select few in society. This is when advancements are seized upon and incorporated in advanced weaponry or covert apparatus, which unfortunately makes progression a key contributor to the nature of conflict.

War as Conflict Resolution

Two things can be surmised by the relationship between technological advancement and the history of war. Firstly, the purpose of technological progress has been manipulated over the last 2 decades, meaning that rather than using information to learn and develop new methods of conflict resolution, it is being applied to existing and innovative methodologies of war. Secondary to this, it is clear is that war can never be an adequate conflict resolution, as it often breeds animosity and mistrust between nations that can burgeon for years and only lead to further battles.

This reveals that the evolution of technology, no matter how intricate and rapid it may be, cannot change human nature or the instincts that dictate thought and action. Not only this, but it also has so far been unable to encourage individuals and governments to learn from history and previous mistakes made in war and conflict, despite the online revolution and the vast swathes of knowledge contained on the pages of the World Wide Web. This is simply down to the willful misuse of technological and scientific evolution by a few individuals in society, who force others to follow suit in order to protect their boundaries and interests.

  1. Thanks for some other informative site. The place else may just I get that type of information written in such a perfect method? I’ve a undertaking that I’m simply now running on, and I’ve been at the glance out for such info.

  2. The baton was a bib on a stretchy belt. We were careful not to drop it, of course, tee hee, but the clip was broken and I had to knot it as I ran, then start my watches and commence the climb. The trail switch-backed its way up the side of the valley, and for a while I could catch glimpses of other runners, above and below, as we worked our way up. But this would not last, since the top of the ridge was hidden in cloud. I was winging the pace, running at about 88% Max HR, threshold pace, with the Garmin showing speeds ranging from 10:30 to 11:20 or so. Not bad for the gradient. At the top, the fog closed in, and I started up the ridge, the so-called Ocean View Trail, heh. 400 vertical feet done, only 900 to go, yay! I picked up the pace a little. Begone, you elevens, only tens and nines from here to the top! Diana, my opponent on this leg, started with a hefty lead, and is no slouch, so my chances of catching her looked dim, unless she blew up on this hill. I looked ahead hopefully. The fog was getting thicker, my spooky little world had a radius of about 30 yards of trail, low scrub and an occasional big rock.Hey, I was catching someone! Oh, not a runner, but a mountain biker in low gear. Passing on your right! Not often I get to say that to a cyclist. Later another figure came into view. A runner, but not Diana. Oh well, picked up a place, anyway. I slowed a little, since it was getting really thick and there was a turn coming up. Heres a group of hikers looking intently at a map and Theres the Dipsea Trail marker!The Dipsea rolled for a while, then started downhill. Check the Garmin: 6:20 pace. Yup, Im fast downhill, but not the fastest. One guy actually passed me here, so I lost that place Id gained.Most of it was not that fast though. There were some sharp turns and steep parts. The fog thinned, and took on color. That blue tint to the left must be the ocean, but what the heck was that diagonal white slash in front? Was I about to be kidnapped by aliens? Clear air revealed it to be the surf at my destination, Stinson Beach. Still more than a mile away, and a long way down, but a welcome sight.Then into the trees, and it got really steep, with switchbacks and stairs. A short uphill came as (almost) a relief after all that quad-workout. Three hikers stood aside and applauded as I stormed up the slope.Another fast bit, then a road, and a turn to the finish.I ran my leg in 55 minutes at an average pace of 8:12. We were 13th out of 25. The B&Bs were 11th, beating us by 5:55. But we were the 2nd all-masters team! I could have done it better, I think. Hmm, could get a taste for this trail racing game

  3. Great blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article?

  6. Dont dare come at me talking shit bitch. Youre too god damn stupid to realize the jews want you stuck on the racial issue, so you will NEVER get to the jew. Plain and simple. Go ahead and play supremacist like a kike and pretend HUMANS cant unite to fight off the jew. Youve got to be about dumb as a fucking rock to try and make the JEW issue an issue between whites, blacks, latinos, arabs, asians, etc. The issue is, and always has been HUMANS vs. JEWS. Hufshit is a kike, but youre just a stupid mother fucker. Where do you think youre going to go that is NOT racially integrated in todays world? Do you think white people (or ANY race for that matter) have the power to fight off every other race AND the jew at the same time? Seriously, do you really believe that? You fucking moron, I did not make this a multi-cult society, so dont blame me for stating the obvious. You either unite with ALL of your fellow countrymen against the jew, or YOU WILL FAIL. Its not something your ignorant ass gets a choice in. You either do it, or die fighting the whole fucking planet. Got it? GOOD. Hufshit might be your commander, but I dont bow to jews, so you can shove that shit up your ass. Are you really so stupid you would shoot your own foot before the battle even begins? You need to think long and hard about that one. If you want to talk about the race issue, how about this. White man helped the jew ethnically cleanse the natives who have more right to this land than you, so now what????? HUH?? Get the fuck off your pedestal mr. high and mighty.

  22. The topic presentation was excellent. Huge question was ignored. George Soros was presented as a hero / benefactor of the failure of the Bank of England. How much has Mr. Soros benefited from the collapse of the American or World economy over the last four months. Even more intriguing, is the question of whether he was able to trigger these failures. The analogy of the herd and the difficulty of knowing what would trigger the fear and stampede, raises the question Did someone know, both how to set off the stampede and, how to benefit from it?

  44. Brian Sabean and the Giants are choosing not to be active participants in this test phase. We are choosing not to use the next potential source of fielding data, which is available ONLY TO US, to evaluate talent in ways nobody else can. We are choosing to pass up a potentially HUGE competitive advantage no other team in baseball has the opportunity to copy (in the present). How the fuck can you justify making that kind of business decision? I simply cannot understand how this makes sense, other than the fact that Sabean & Co. is that fucking clueless.

  46. I found the Ascent of Money difficult to follow with so many complex concepts and practices rapidly presented without adequate explaination (I am not an economist) and so most of the talk about derivatives, hedge funds, the bond markets were all above my head. I belive one need to know somthing about these concepts before one can make sense of the film and really really understand the cause of the economic crash beyond the simple causes of greed and the now almost universally accepted idea that one must be terribly rich without earning the money. Thank You.
