    new front soldiers for the army

    This is quite the interesting robot. It would seem as though it would be very helpful to the military. The only issue that i could see arising is the issue of reliability because there is an a chance that the robot could malfunction or stop working. Although this issue isn't specifically noted in the article we can infer this because machines these days always have a limit and it's very hard to get all the kinks out of them. It could be interesting if they actually tried to put this robot out in the field fighting with the other soldiers. maybe that could be the next step.

It has many important details and high level data that would be harmful if in wrong hands. The government needs to secure the data base to avoid in foreign invasion on their database hence this would pose a serious threat to the nations security. The first step in securing the government database is to take it off the main internet and hence there would be no way to access it unless if an individual or an organization had authorization to it.

    "O SEE how frustrating the wrong kind of e-government can be, look at "Choose and Book", the flagship project of Britain's £12.4 billion ($25 billion) programme "Connecting for Health"-the world's biggest non-military government computerisation programme. The aim is bold and inspiring: to allow patients in the National Health Service (NHS), advised by their doctors, to choose the treatment they want, and book an appointment when they want it. "
