Military
Due to modern advances in commercial technology information used in both commerce and the military is very similar. Therefore the effects of telecommunications on commerce also exist in the military. It is vital for the military to be up to date and ready as the country begins to rely more and more on technology. The military must be able to see attacks coming, and defend the country in the event of attacks against telecommunications. As well as protecting the day to day life of citizens, the military also uses telecommunications technology within their own operations. The military viws information as a weapon. As this new idea arises they must focus on how information is used to attack, and how it is used to defend against attacks. This therefore results in computer networking becoming a tool of war. This will be very important for the military in the future(Wood)
The military also uses telecommunication technology for commanding and controlling. Systems responsible for communication, systems that are automatically set, and different networks must be secure and reliable for the military to efficiently operate. Some possible future developments may include artificial intelligence and more automated networks. This is a tricky field that may prove to be of great significance to the future of our military(Frankel).
