Recently American cyber security has found links to hackers to the Chinese government. They found a 60 page report that had described the groups’ actions and tactics over the last 6 years that include over 141 different organizations and 20 different industries. When the story came out about China being involved they responded by saying that they had victims of cyber-attacks and that they had never supported any hacker activities. I think this shows how much technology can be a good thing and a bad thing, because it can be manipulated in war, and could possibly assist in starting another cold war if they are starting cyber attacks. This could grow to an online world war, and think about how much worse it will or could get when we advance even more in technology. This could affect the way we think of war and could start an entire new era of war. Maybe we could have just an entire online war, instead of sending people over to fight and possibly lose their life but this could also affect our society, if they could tap into our systems here, then they could cause mass destruction over here in the United States or vice versa. I am not sure if that is a power that we can actually handle. I think that technology can help us in many ways in war but what if it gets manipulated or hacked into? Today our society is run by the internet and everything is online, so if someone were to be able to access it then they could do some serious damage and destroys our society, then we would have to completely rebuild, they could set us back technologically for about 30 years, which would cause us to be weaker and vulnerable. In the end I think with these technological advances we need to make sure we are on top and that our cyber world is protected. (322)
