  This article is slightly more off topic, but a great discussion either way. This article argues that social media and or "cyber-security" classes should be taught to high schoolers. I feel like this relate to my topic due to the large demographic of young people involved in the Egyptian Revolution. Although certain technologies might not have been available or were frowned on, learning about social media earlier in Egypt could've gotten the messages out way faster. I also feel like proper education for all people around the world would help prevent people from falling victim to false information on the internet and the agendas behind them. Being able to identify a threat is important in any situation, and although Egyptians used social media to fight against the regime, it later had very negative backlash, full of lies.

ISIL's Hacking Division as of late December have tried penetrating the U.S. national electricity grid. Two hackers were caught, having accessed over 1,305 U.S. military personnel's addresses, locations, numbers and family information. Recent ISIL bloggers have discussed crashing passenger jets by hacking into on-board electronics. Other extremists have discussed triggering a lethal radiation release by sending rogue commands to nuclear power plants.

Predictions believe that cyber warfare between nations will increase in 2016, with more precedent attacks from Russia, Iran, Israel, and the US. Cyberspace and its warfare currently lack regulation, in addition it is difficult to trace back or pin a cyber crime on a single individual.

After an international agreement involving Iran the nature of their cyber program has shifted. The change was from flagrant cyber attacks to cripple other nations and business' computer networks to cyber espionage, focusing on infiltrating and accessing documents relevant to Iran. Due to the softer nature it is harder for nations to respond with retaliation or outrage to Iran's cyber offensive.

I found this article from 2015 to still be very relevant considering President Obama's speech and a recent push by university/techs to communicate regarding the exact threat of ISIS' cyberterrorism capabilities. The NSA reported that this means of war is parallel to that of the Cold War; leaving countries on edge since traditional human espionage is slowly becoming intertwined with "technical operations."
