CYBER WAR
I happened to read a book AD 2995, based on interview with eminent Russian scientists.
They had correctly predicted about bloodless surgery, by using ultrasonic waves, but failed to anticipate the revolution in information technology. The internet and the computer has changed all aspects of our life, including industrial production . Different parts are now manufactured in different countries and assembled elsewhere. The mobile phone has changed , not only personal life, but even the safety of life, as terrorists can induce explosion, by remote control.
Cyber attach can paralyze the military of enemy country. Everything is now computerized and that is the weak point. There are no secrets any more. Even your bed room, can be spied upon.
Tolstoy was afraid of a dictator with the telephone. Now, the word safety is meaningless.
