A Farewell to Arms Article review

"We will have a cyber equivalent of Pearl Harbor at some point, and we do not want to wait for that wake-up call." 

This article is sort of totally scary as shit.  The fact that our nation and our nation's defense/security are COMPLETELY reliant on technology leaves us vulnerable and ironically, makes me feel very UNsafe.

The idea that situations like this could happen aren't out of the ordinary at all.  Considering the eventual downfall of our nations defense, backup plan after backup plan would have to be in place. What this all needs to boil down to, eventually, is that everyone should just grow the hell up and be friends. :] ....And only worry about threats from an Alien race or a zombie apocalypse.

My Views on the Future

It's kind of hard to tell what will happen with technology in the future. My fantastical mind always likes to think it will turn out to be technology from show like Futurama or something, but the reality of that is probably far off.

I know when I was growing up that even things like Palm Pilots were amazing to me.  To have even been able to conceive feats of technology such as Apple products like the iPhone, the iPad and even the Macintosh home computer systems, would have been totally mind boggling.

I know that I'm happy with where technology is today, even if it has reduced some of the face to face interaction that I grew up on.  I feel that within a 10 year period, it isn't unlikely that the next big technological feat will come along
