Relationship Between Technology and Warfare

I read the article Science, Technology, and the Future of Warfare by Margaret Kosal. This is a very interesting article about the rapid pace of the technological advances. Once someone comes out with a new technology the whole world knows about it because of how fast news can travel. A very interesting statement she said was, "In today’s world, recognition of the potential applications of a technology and a sense of purpose in exploiting it are far more important than simply having access to it."(Kosal) So instead of using the technology since everyone has access to it nowadays. Finding ways to exploit the countries who heavily rely on these technologies is more important then using them.
