After reading the article in the provided link, a quote that clicked with me was “technology today is enabling both state and nonstate actors to manipulate the global marketplace of beliefs and ideas at the speed of algorithms, and this is changing the battlefield at all levels of war” ().
Technology is apart of everyday life and is connected in every aspect of what you do. These technologies also use an algorithm to either provide you with content that you are interested in or information the government wants to provide you. This can be used improperly by having a large organization target a select side of people to try and divide the country into Democrats and Republicans to distract the normal person from what is actually happening. Something similar already happens, especially during war time. In our current society, Hamas and Palestine are currently at war and the media is persuading people to thinking that they should side with Hamas, even though Hamas believes that women should not have any rights and they man should have full control of society.
Technology is very powerful and can be used to destroy society if not used properly.
