Pros and Cons of Modern Technology
War is war. There was a time during wars, when civilians could enter into bomb shelters with their families and be reasonably safe from death. However, some genius created the technology for the “Smart Bomb,” a name given to a bomb dropped by American pilots in the war against Iraq. The initial part of the bomb would strike first, drill a hole and allow the bomb which followed to enter its target.
