Article supports drones as being an emerging technology. ASSignment1, Part1 Support

Interesting article, It seems to me that this is just another one of those cases about flexing the "muscle" of the Freedom of Information Act. In my opinion it is pretty common knowledge that targeted drone strikes are being used to eliminate enemies; so why is it so important here that the C.I.A. has to acknowledge these attacks? What would that accomplish? The media outlets already report on successful drone strikes and now there are even military medals to recognize drone pilots. http://www.fsunews.com/article/20130318/FSVIEW0303/130317001/New-military-medal-stirs-controversy-?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|frontpage|s

I just wonder how long it's going to take before something comes out of these attacks. Using these drones to fly into other countries like Pakistan, and "take out" suspected enemies is pretty borderline in my opinion. If this were to happen in America, we would certainly not stand for it, and would declare war on the country that carried out the action. Pushing the button from California on a drone missle is alot like conducting cyber warfare from one country to another. The damage that can be done is becoming greater and greater every day as technology is starting to tie together national infrastructures. In my opinion, drones are the some of the first of the cyber warfare machines.

(TomDispatch) Here's the essence of it: you can trust America's creme de la creme, the most elevated, responsible people, no matter what weapons, what powers, you put in their hands. No need to constantly look over their shoulders.

Great article Samuel, I had wondered about this topic for a while but did not have the chance to actual research the in's and out's. This article has definitely informed me of the issue. Great find!

Sam, Great article. Sometimes people don't always think about the negative side of things. I know about unmanned drones I had not. Thank you for informing us of this.

This article is pretty interesting. It is about how emerging technologies are changing the IT job market. With the emergence of technologies such as: the world of SDN, Converged Infrastructure, BYOD, Virtualization, ITaaS, SDS, and PAaaS, and of course, "The Cloud," changing the industry pace, many employers are seeking highly competitive personnel to fill these positions. It also provides information on these new IT technologies and the importance to U.S. vendors and employers on these functions.

As a member of the general IT crowd at the moment I know exactly what this article is talking about. Many companies, including my own, are moving toward virtualization and cloud everything. Soon enough, I think just about everything will be "as a service", as it is far more cost effective to operate on the client end, and more cost effective to support on the provider end.

I find the BYOD moment interesting; personally I would be weary of people connecting their own devices to my network. I know right now it is about providing life style perks to prospective employees, but at some point a mistake will be made and the internal networks could be compromised.
