But, war is war, and there's no guarantee that mice and keyboards won't eventually give way to tanks and rifles.

So if you buy hardware, know who benefits, have a look at the "made in . . . . "-label. Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:10:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Janvl) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?405132 http://www.osnews.com/thread?405132 Why is fraud and espionage suddenly special because it involves a computer network? Even with the phone system we had "criminals" but now if it involved a keyboard (even as a blunt weapon), it's "cybercrime". In the same way, we don't have espionage and war but "cyberwar" as if it's something magical and special.

And, as far as war is concerned, it's been remarkably infective. "Cyber-nuisance" is about the best it's come too if we must preface it with the now constantly miss-used "cyber"; Oh Nos.. I can'ts read my google mail!

Of course politics, military activity and crime will expand into computers just like they've expanded into every other medium that's come along. It'll also expand into the next society changing creation whatever it may be.

This isn't directed at any specific reader, it's just one of those things that constantly grates on me.
