The world we live in is an ever-changing place, especially when technology is involved. This is especially true when a war is involved in technological developments. The internal combustion engine was 30 years old when the first tanks rolled out onto the battle fields of World War One. The first airplane was powered by a small 4-cylinder engine a decade and half before. Whether it’s communications or transportation, the world is always changing. Whoever is the best at adapting to new times and the use of new technologies is mostly the victors. No problem in this world is completely understood, and therefore solved permanently, it’s just solved until a new problem arises. The rate at which the discovery of problems and solutions occurs is more vindictive on the overall success of a field’s evolvement. This is mostly done through scientific processes, as well as social and statical studies.

However, it should also be noted that once something discovered becomes common knowledge to any adversary or some sort of competition, the new problem of how to beat old techniques will occur. Usually, it’s solved with new technology being invented, or new strategies being deployed.
War, like everything else, has always been changing and the ones who change with it are most likely to become the victors at the end of the day. From sharpened rocks to the invention of gun powder there has been a lot of change. Most notably are the changes between how the war of the last century were fought. World War one was considered the first modern war, yet the war after that there were also many more advancements. One of these being the invention of the atomic bomb. This was a piece of technology that the cold war focused on. A war where two powers basically sat by the button. From this proxy wars forms, from Afghanistan to Vietnam. From the left-over fallout of these proxy wars, the war of terror started. Yet something more bizarre, the cyber war. For years war have been fought between men, in uniforms, on battle fields. Now it was behind a screen.

It’s a little-known fact that this cyber war and the internet, has its roots in the cold war. It was invented at a time when two superpowers were working on methods to improve their nuclear capabilities, that the internet was invented. In the sixties the USA had an idea to link computers together so they could talk. This idea led to the invention of ARPA, in 1969. ARPA was a system where computers controlling the nukes would talk. The first message that was sent was the word “LOGIN” but crashed after the first two letters. Fast forward half a century, militaries around the world are trying to grapple with a cyber war against some of its own civilians.

However, these fixable problems aren’t always apparent. This means that is very important to be able to identify problems regularly. Most people when they talk about problems, they talk about things out of their control, or a false problem, which they were subverted into believing. This process of spending time to discover can be daunting to some, while being a more critical step in success than others. Someone the problems we discover in this process can be think out of our realm of fixing.

For instance, having a car might solve the issue of transportation in our daily lives without us even thinking about it. Before the car was the horse and buggy, and just like our modern lives today, no one ever thought anything better than the horse and buggy in the past, until the car was invented. Now everyone uses cars.

People are smart when they realize a problem and go about finding a beneficial solution to it. Too many people falsely believe their smart, only because they believe certain fallacies to be true.
