Cyber Warfare

I think this topic is very interesting and completely over my head considering I would rather do without a lot of technology we have today. I know most of it makes our lives convenient helps more than it destroys, or does it? I know, I know, Im old school.

At the Air Force Academy in Colorado, the military are raising a special breed of warriors, warriors who fight in the cyber arena. I keep telling myself that this Occupation within the military is not silly, but this job could be one of the most important now and in the near future. America is very dependent upon electricity and technology, therefore shouldn't we have someone to protect that just as we have the National Guard to protect our Nation.

Only Army, Navy, Air Force are taking part in the computer warfare in Colorado. The military has been training men and women in the area of cyber warfare for about ten years now, but now the training has been taken to a new level with the increasing amount of internet break in by foreign countries.

I dont even know if there are any laws concerning the cyber warfare that is taking place today. James Clapper, who is the director of the nation intelligence, classified a cyber attack as the number one threat to out national security. This provides awesome job opportunity in computer science and technological studies.
