Terrorism and Technology

11th September 2001 incident

It wasn’t until the morning of September 11th 2001 that America began to question just how safe we really are.

The September 11th terrorist attacks have had both positive and negative impacts on the use of computers and technology.

It is hard for many to believe that good things can come from bad situations.

In this case it took a terrorist attack to make us realize that there is room for improvement in the quality of our technology that we rely so much on today.
