Description:
|
Disruptive technologies are becoming more common among non-state actors in recent years. Rapid technological advancement have created the need to understand how these technologies are affecting the world. Furthermore, the need exists to not only analyze present usage of disruptive technologies, but also foresee likely future development and influence as these technologies become more integrated into warfare, intelligence, and other arenas. The goal for this research is to gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the current and future use of descriptive technologies, as well as how they are influencing the world in political, economical, and other ways. A research paper of 5-10 pages will be written to deliver our findings based on scholarly sources and our interpretations.
