“Predator Crash in Central Iraq” from the Air Force.mil website shows that how we treat war is important. The article tells of USAF unmanned aircraft crashing in the middle of Iraq. With all the recent advancements in technology machines have become a regular part of the United States military. Robots of war are everywhere, in the air, on land, and even at sea. All of these war tools are connected in many ways, the most important, they all use the internet.

I recently viewed a video that showed many easy ways to “hack” people’s computers, webcams, and printers. None of these “hacks” were more complicated than simply searching a code on Google. If anyone can do these simple “hacks” imagine what the expert “hacker” can do to a computer, or a robot of war.

I know that the military tools are protected by the best computer geniuses, but where ever there is a will there is a way. The bottom line is that we need to be very careful about how we use robots and the internet in general to protect us.

  1. Don't you think the millitary would have the best secruity possible on those systems? Even if someone did hack it the Air Force would shoot it down or blow it up and then send the FBI after whoever hacked it.

  2. If someone really wanted to do some damage they would find plans to build their own war machine and do some mega damage by adding their own modifications.

  5. Taiterbugs.... Do you really think that Al Queda (a terrorist organization that lives in caves) has the money, technology, let alone the runway to build and maintain an up to date Aircraft that could even challenge the best airplanes in the world. There is also something called a domestic terrorist, people like you and me, that hate America, these people do not have the money (on average 100 million dollars) to build their own planes, what these people do have is computers, thay can work and work and possibly hack into our airplanes.

  6. I don't think caves have wifi, and as soon as they hacked it(if they are smart enough to hack it) the Air Force would send a bomb down their throats.
