Technology shapes warfare, not war. War is timeless and universal. It has afflicted virtually
every state known to human history. Warfare is the conduct of war. It is the clash of arms or the
maneuver of armed forces in the field. It entails what military professionals call operations,
whether or not the opposing forces actually unleash their organized violence on one another. War
is a condition in which a state might find itself; warfare is a physical activity conducted by armed
forces in the context of war. Of course, many kinds of group violence, from gang fights to
terrorism, might display some or all of the characteristics of warfare without rising to this definition
of war, but more often than not these violent conflicts use instruments of war. To understand the
technology of warfare is to understand the technology of most public violence.
Wording is also important in articulating exactly what impact technology has on warfare.
A number of verbs suggest themselves. Technology defines, governs, or circumscribes warfare.
It sets the stage for warfare. It is the instrumentality of warfare.

Technology has been the primary source of military innovation throughout history. It
drives changes in warfare more than any other factor. One interesting question is that;
Should our state invest in the development of new weapons and war technologies?
What are the pros and cons of this?

The question above is a type argumentative discussion. It is a simple debate on the investment of
war technologies and how it impacts our state. It is part of the training to use the method of
brainstorming to come up with great ideas.
