I got a bit behind on my blogs so this one is for the week of November 27th! Unfortunately I was sick on the 22nd so I missed out on what sounded like a very interesting guest speaker! It is clear from reading the materials that were meant to prepare us for that discussion that cyberspace is of great importance to the U.S.
Departement of Defense, their main points being essentially that cyberspace is central to modern society and that cyberspace can be both a major tool and bane to U.S. defense. The article about the U.S., Russia, and other countries recent policies on cybercrime was interesting because Russia and China refuse to sign a treaty that would allow police to track down cybercriminals, even in other countries. This brings up an interesting idea; is the internet breaking down borders? And, if so, do we need to reconsider our idea of sovereignty?
