Digital networking & genetic engineering are two clusters of new technologies having tremendous impact on global security. Although many assume that technological change is positive, it can have drawbacks. Problems related to digital networking include uneven diffusion within & between nations, the effects of exposure to advanced cultures on traditional societies, threats to authority from disaffected groups, & excessive dependence on certain networks. Digital networking also brings information theft, viruses, & subterfuge.
