2006

In the November 3, 2006 article "Air Force Corms Cyberspace Unit," Dave Ahearn details how the United States Air Force formed an offensive and defensive cyberspace unit to handle the increasing amount of threats and opportunities in cyberspace. The term cyberspace is implied to be much bigger than in other articles, including global positioning satellites, radar, and navigational jamming devices. He describes how terrorists are using these items to attack American computer servers and destroying key data in cyberspace. Ahean discusses how the world is in a "cyber war," and stating that the openness of cyberspace could create an "e-Katrina." This article really tackled what seems to be the main theme in most of these articles, which is that while cyberspace is great for communication, it is set up to be a platform for information destruction.
