The development of information and communication systems has become a critical component of globalization, shrinking both time and space, with far-reaching consequences that are still barely understood. Hi-tech connectivity has facilitated the emergence of dense global commercial and information networks that are unprecedented in their speed, accessibility, and capability. Not surprisingly, the United States has been the leader in this process, exploiting new opportunities in a variety of ways. Information and communication technologies provide greater efficiencies at lower costs for U.S. business, while the military services regard opportunities for information warfare as a major component of the evolution in military affairs. Indeed, information and communications systems have been widely embraced as a means of maintaining United States primacy, both economically and militarily. Unfortunately, such opportunities rarely come without some risk. The information and communications revolutions are no exception.
