Military Tech for Daily Life

Posted by samzenpus on from the still-no-wave-motion-gun dept.

PreacherTom writes "It is nothing new to see technology from military and governmental endeavors change daily life profoundly. One only has to look at the fruits of the space program (from computers to microwave ovens to Tang). New military gear is on the horizon that promises to do the same, including biosensors, bandages that clot blood using soundwaves, and the ubiquitous Swiss Army Pen."

    "It is nothing new to see technology from military and governmental endeavors change daily life profoundly."

    Sure. Military technology can change people's lives profoundly. Ask anyboy who stepped on a land mine.
    Or even better: Why don't you ask the troops yourselves? Start with the ones who have breathed in depleted uranium
    and have cancer, then talk to the guys who ended up terminally sick from the vaccination shots they were given.

    All that is: Beyond Treason
