This is a discussion that has multiple questions to be addressed. Please follow his instructions carefully as the professor finds mistakes in everything. Question is below: The Evolution of a Technological Solution…or is it? Consider how technology has evolved in your lifetime. These changes may impact how we work to find solutions to the global threats discussed so far. Often times we look at improvements to technology as a positive way or resolving the world’s problems. In fact, there was a technological revolution in the late 1800s and early 1900s that much of the world thought that this newfound technology would save the world and prevent war…or at least shorten it. When World War I broke out, many of the European countries that were fighting actually thought that technology—trains, airplane, submarines, automatic weapons—would make war end faster, and thus make war loss bloody. However, the United States had a different view based on its history with technology in the Civil War, where Americans quickly learned that technology can actually make a very bloody war end up being even bloodier at a faster rate; it did not end things quickly. Once World War I began, the Europeans learned very quickly that technology was not the world’s savor. Ironically, war often end up creating revolutionary new and very beneficial technologies. The space age, radio, television, cell phones, the Internet, and even the Interstate highways (actually called the Interstate Highway Defense System) were all invented or created for military purposes. Consider the following in your responses: If we could remove the current boundaries of technology and look into the future, how would you use technology to resolve one of these global threats? How are some existing technologies being used for not-so-good purposes? What are some better ways that technology could be used to address global threats? What could be done to get countries to agree to any such changes? Review the posts of your classmates and respond to at least one other post. Remember, you do not need to respond to each of the items above. They are only there to give you ideas. Please remember to support your opinion with well thought out fact. Do not just state your opinion and leave it without giving the reasons why you think that way.
