Engineering a New Order:
1. If large numbers of young adults were trained specifically in military science could there be a potential economic downfall falling the end of a war and the start of peace?
2. The paper talks about the rapid advancement of military science and an inability within military forces to keep up with these advancements, if this is true then should people be trained in schools that take multiple years as opposed to quick on the job training?
3. Do you think that military science could become part of a regular study schedule in a regular university as opposed to only being taught in military specific schools?
The internet Revolution:
1. Was the switch from military to private backing of the internet in 1991 a major turning point in how the internet is viewed and used today?
2. All of the same terms that were originally introduced for the internet are still in use today, do you ever think that these terms and identifiers will become obsolete?
3. Many companies are valued based on the number of users and their potential, is it safe to have a site be worth something if there are no physical assets?
Tools for thought (chapters 4, 5, 6):
1. Do you think that any of the inventors that were responsible for the first computers visualized using their computers for personal enjoyment rather than just research and calculations?
2. Has research been improved by the notion of working in teams or has innovation been sacrificed?
3. Have we already reached the age of true information processing or just a time when programs are just dynamic enough to proxy the true ability?
3. Do you think that military science could become part of a regular study schedule in a regular university as opposed to only being taught in military specific schools? It is -- ROTC at many 'regular universities' -- it's a little less prevalent than it was in previous times (the debacle of the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement of the 60s drove it off many campuses at least temporarily)...
