Why the music industry must change its strategy to reach digital natives, 28 November 2012
My moral standing on downloading music?
Considering I am a college student, you know my answer. Like many other college students, downloaded music is usually done by ripping it off of Youtube videos. If someone is trying to charge one an upwards of $1.99 a song, they can forget about it. However, If I genuinely enjoy an artist's work, I will buy the CD (I've done this with 4-6 artists) rather other tactics.

Waging War
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.
Waging War Video:
Technologies exacerbates technologies; new questions, etc
wrapped up in war, in history
Technology is creating a weapon too
It's our human creativity that differentiates us from other animals
We want to destroy each other
Incredible new capabilities and incredibly new dilemmas
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 I think about bombers and the atomic bomb, and if they will ever become 'out-of-date' just as the chariot did?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?
