Chapter 1 synopsis

So chapter 1 focused on the development of technologies, and multimedia programs as a result of the cold war and the space race. It seems that all advances in this technology occured because of war, and fear of nuclear weapon deployment. And if we look back in time, it seems that all wars had lead to major advances in weaponery, technology, and ideologies. No one wants war, but new technologies seem to be the fruit of war. In retrospect we can say that war is wrong, but then again you wouldn't have that iphone if it weren't for war. I think we can take a lesson from Alfred Nobel who developed dynomite. He had not intended it being used for evil, and in that respect he founded the Nobel Peace prize to award those who worked to help bring peace to the world.
