Is war a form of Technology? Some would argue that it is and some may argue that it is not. According to Encarta Dictionary the definition of technology is application of tools and methods: the study, development, and application of devices, machines, and techniques for manufacturing and productive processes. (Encarta Dictionaries) Just the definition of technology should prove that war is a form of technology. Don't see it? Well, in war officials on either side have to form plans so that they can win the war. They use their knowledge of war and of their oppisition as tools to produce their success. There are many different methods of battle also. If warfare is applying techniques, knowledge, and machines to manufacture something, success, than is it not basically technology?
