The argument that has been outlined within this thesis is established by examining the underlying connections within the evolution of computer technology. I argue that the initial steps in computer technology evolution were sparked by the perception of military need. From the first development of the modern computer in World War II; to the scientific revolution due to Sputnik that resulted in the establishment of ARPA; to the efforts of the Jasons and McNamara in the Vietnam War to implement computers into the military at last; to the emergence of the ARPAnet that would revolutionize communications and information sharing; all were steps that would result in the implementation of computers into the military and bring computer technology to the forefront of military research and as a result the public's as well. / Dr. Werner Lippert
