Military Tech
Back in the day, if you wanted to physically fight someone, you had to approach them in person and fight them in hand to hand combat. The new technology from there was simple weaponry such as spears and bow and arrows. Well we have come a long way since then. Smart technology is now highly integrated into weaponry. The new XM-25 is now being deployed, for example. This is a new computerized grenade launcher. What will be thought of next? Is someone going to invent an iron man suit? Will someone invent the cure, as it was invented in a clockwork orange, to stop others who are malicious from attacking others? Who knows? Obviously, technological advances are being made all around us. The way we fight, communicate, and think is no longer the same way it used to be. What if a technology was invented to tap into the minds of many and quell that certain part of the brain that drives us to fight. Now that would be a revolutionary technology that would be truly beneficial to the human race. Only time will tell. With technology advancing the way it has been, anything is possible.

You may joke about some of the new technologies that the military is developing, but some of those jokes are very close to the truth. There is an exoskeleton suit that will soon start being used in the military. Right now it will be powered by a tether, but eventually it will roam free with battery packs. These suits are made to let a single soldier move around heavy equipment by himself. These suits are also progressing to helping the soldier jump higher and run faster. Soon, all soldiers will have these exoskeleton suits that will enable them to run into combat at 40 miles per hour and start jumping from roof top to roof top. How long until these men become your iron men? I enjoy the ending of your blog, it helps me keep hope that someone will see and accomplish such a task to bring about eternal peace.
