The constantly evolving role of technology in war
Manage episode 367929786 series 3358108
In this final short conversation with Jack McDonald, author of 'What is War for?', we turn to the part played by technology in war. There’s long been a technological aspect to war, not just in the development of ever more deadly weapons, but also in the way civilian technology, such as railway networks and the telegraph, have shaped the conduct of war.
Today, in the era of drones and smartphones, war continues to evolve, posing new ethical questions on the battlefield and beyond.
