According to the NY Times, Iran has discovered a new type of virus that is capable of damaging government systems. Called the “stars virus” it has been sent to laboratories for further investigating.
This is interesting, but when thinking about it on the global scale, it becomes downright terrifying. It has been speculated over the years that the next terrorist attack will probably revolve around the use of technology. We as a nation have become so dependent on technology, such as internet, television, radio, and everything else in between that if we didn’t have that, our government and nation as a whole would come to a complete standstill. It would take years for us to even SLIGHTLY come close to what we had before.
This type of technology and possible terrorist tool makes me question the future of the world. If something like this was to happen on a grand scale to any nation, they would have to rebuild society from the ground up, and look how long it took us to come this far?
