There are always
two sides of everything. As much of a blessing is technology in solving some of
our biggest problems, it also has many flaws that few people exploit to
propagate terrorism.
In short, while
few decades back terrorism ways always linked to regional problems, it’s a
global menace right now. And a large credit behind that goes to technology.
Let’s talk about
ISIS in particular. These people have been recruiting people to join their
organization from across the world. And needless to say, they have found quite
a bit of success in that. To that, it is using technology have they coordinated
multiple attacks in many cities.
Let’s talk about
funding. In recent times, countless reports have exploded the scene claiming
how these terrorists are getting money via Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies from
their empathizers that virtually makes the sender and recipient anonymous.
Plus, these
terrorist organizations have been depending on technology extensively to arm
themselves. The world undermines them but they have some of best and advanced
weapons. All because they are effectively leveraging the progressive
technology!
I am not going
to say to prevent this we should stop tech advancement. However, whatever we
do, we should do responsibly, taking precautions and factoring its adverse
affect. One of the biggest threats right now is Artificial Intelligence. Imagine
if terrorists get hold of AI-powered weapons – or they make those themselves.
It would be a complete mayhem.
