Describe the relationship between IT and war as it has existed throughout history and into the present:
The relationship between IT and war is one that can give a side the competitive advantage. IT can change the outcomes of wars, causality rates, and much more which can change the course of history.

War and Technology text

"Technology is essence a precess of manipulating the material world for human purposes. whether it does good or ill depends not on the technology itself but on what humans choose to do with it"

[Alex Roland] propositions ate these: (1) technology, more than any other outside force, shapes warfare; and conversely  way (not warfare) shapes technology. (2) Military technology is, however,, not deterministic. Rather, (3) technology opens doors. And, finally, (4) these characteristics of military technology are easier to see in the modern period than previously, though they have always been at work.

Q- The text touches on 'vehicles of war'. Are 'vehicles of war' going to be manned by humans in the years to come? or is everything going to be unmanned? If everything is unmanned, what will be the purpose of these un-manned aircraft in combat?

Q- A chariot was considered a modern-day technology for its time. I think about bombers and the atomic bomb, and if they will ever become 'out-of-date' just as the chariot did? What weapons wil replace these already horrifying 'technologies'?

Q- With reference from other readings, will new technologies eliminate the need for large-scale weapons? Could there be some sort of internet or online atomic bomb that could be just as threatening to a country as an atomic bomb, but without the causalities?
