پیشرفت تکنولوژی

یکی‌ از فوائد عصر کامپیوتر دسترسی به اطلاعات و اخبار است که گاهی‌ بطور رایگان توسط شرکت‌های غیر انتفاعی مانند ویکیپدیا در دسترس کسانی‌ که به آن اطلاعات علاقه دارند قرار می‌گیرد. بسیاری از آگاهی‌های تاریخی، همچون زیست‌نامه یا بیوگرافی‌، را می‌توان از این شبکه دریافت کرد. یکی‌ دیگر از شبکه‌های اینترنتی که کاربرد آن همواره رو به افزایش است، گوگل می‌باشد. با نوشتن یک واژه یا جمله در گوگل می‌توان اطلاعات وسیعی در مورد آن واژه یا جمله کسب کرد. گرچه گوگل یک شرکت انتفاعی است و درآمد آن از تبلیغات است، ولی‌ فردِ استفاده کننده از این تسهیلات به ندرت متوجهٔ آن تبلیغ می‌شود. هر دوی این شبکه‌ها را می‌توان قرن بیست و یکمی نامید، چرا که گوگل دو سال پیش از پایان قرن بیستم، و ویکیپدیا از نخستین سال این قرن با ما بوده‌ا‌ند. افرادی‌ که مطالب این دو شبکه را می‌نویسند متنوع و آگاه می‌باشند، بخصوص که مطالب هر دو این سازمان‌ها را می‌توان به چالش کشید. جالب اینجاست که بسیاری از شبکه‌های اینترنتی را می‌توان به چندین زبان که در دنیا مُحاوره می‌شوند، از جمله زبان فارسی، جستجو کرد.ا

Melvin Goodman
In 1947, the U.S. Congress passed the National Security Act, which created the National Security Council, the Department of Defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Central Intelligence Agency.  These institutions were often misused during the worst days of the Cold War and, more recently, in the Global War on Terror.  Nevertheless, there are historical records on the decision making that took place, and there were successes in such fields as arms control and disarmament as well as the building of national security alliances in Europe and Asia.
