I was perusing FreshNews.org and found this article "What Is Terrorism? Can It Ever Be Ethical?" that raised my curiosity (long article and requires above average reading comprehnsion). Anyway, after reading the article published at Kuro5hin, a technology meets grassroots culture site, the mutual exclusion of technological and political rhetoric appears to be dissipating. In other words, technology and politics are no longer at opposite ends of the spectrum and never are. They are now both means to an end. Which end that is always primariy politically driven.
In my mind, I have always coined this 'techno-politics' from what I have seen in the technology field. It is becoming more mainstream since technology affects us in just about every facet of our daily lives. It is inevitable that politics and technology is on a collision course.
Some of the more interesting notes in the above mentioned article is the definition of 'ethical terrorism' and viewpoints on past acts in history that would fit the modern definition of terrorism. Ok, that's it this is not a political weblog so will stop posting about this topic in this weblog.
