The Impact Of Technology On The Way War

Technological developments in the late 19th century had made artillery and machine guns extraordinarily effective defensive weapons, creating a deadly zone of fire in front of the defenders' positions. Soldiers and laborers were required to dig trenches and machine gun placements, which would protect men from enemy

If an enemy was charging they would fire that and it would either kill them or they would get sawdust in their eyes. Another type of weapon was the rifle. Rifles were way less advanced than rifles today. A rifle had a lead ball and there was a special way to load it or the gun would blow up on the person firing it. Today, a person just takes out the magazine that's in there and put a new one in.

1) How did technology affect the course of the war? a. Infantry soldiers carried muskets. Musket could shoot one bullet at a time. A musket and a range of 250 yards, but the effective range was 80 yards. Rifles accurate range was 1,000 yards.

Infantrymen carried rifles that were lethal at 500 yards and used large magazines. Machine guns

Have you ever wondered how the rifle came to be or how it has evolved into a very dangerous weapon? The rifle has changed warfare to this day. The advancement of reloading, accuracy, etc. have made warfare so much more deadly. Because of the advancements of reload time and accuracy during the Industrial Revolution the rifle became more powerful and advanced.

In war there is death, but where in death does it change to become what is known today as modern warfare? Was it a landmark like the first use of a tool or tactic, or is it during a time as a society? The impactfulness of guns changed the ways wars were fought still even today, but the tanks and airplanes changed it on even a larger aspect. The other side of the coin is that the perspective of war has changed through the ages. It changed from an all out barbaric massacre of people, to a gentlemanly and honorable act, to a cold and cruel mechanized meat grinder. Where did death change to become modern?

Technology played an important role in World War 2. Major advances in weapons, communications, and industry by both sides impacted the way the war was fought, and eventually, the outcome in the war. Saying that World War II completely changed the world always sounds like either a massive understatement or of the entire conflict. But, the simple fact is that the war really did change everything, including ushering in a new technological age. As we approach the 70th anniversary of the end of the war, the staggering truth is that the conflict continues to have an impact on the way that we live, and in more ways that you may expect.

Technology has made great advances on a global scale, especially within the last half century. Works of fiction and informational texts have addressed the numerous uses of modern innovation. These technological advances have the potential to make one’s personal life better, but could be detrimental to the world as a whole.

Today’s society is more affected by technology than it ever has been and it is changing every second of every day. Advancements in technology have been changing our culture and society for hundreds of years; from hunters and gatherers to information overload to a future of the most advanced technologies we could imagine. These fast advancements in technology quickly change our society. This statement was greatly expanded upon by three people: Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler

The evolution of warfare, from small raids to large scale total war, influenced the evolution in weaponry. Whether it is a rock for a caveman, a sword for a knight, or a gun for a marine, there is an ever-present need for a more effective way to kill the enemy. The obligation to better protect one’s citizens from the enemy further increases the demands for “better and improved” weapons, which dictate the need for weapons to evolve. The fundamental methods to injure and kill humans and other living creatures have not changed much throughout the years, however, technological advancement in weaponry has allowed for faster killing in greater numbers.

When technology fails we will need to consider that going back to the old ways maybe our only choice. Sending men and women into battle was our only option in the past. We should not be complacent and stop training men and women to fight for our great nation. If and when technology fails, and we are not properly prepared, then we will lose this country that our fore-fathers have fought with their blood and sweat.

Technology is continuously developing and has begun creating shortcuts for the American society. As a society we need to find a balance between our technological use and our everyday life. In my opinion, society has become too dependent on technology. The more advanced technology becomes, the more it seems to be gaining control over our lives. Even though technology is offering society many beneficial qualities; it also is causing many negative effects to occur. Technology is affecting society socially, mentally, and physically.
