This was from an earlier edition of the guardian newspaper that i had fogotten about buying, until i found it again. its from the 28th of july. about an article called, " A history of folly, from the Trojan horse to Afghanistan" looking at the feasability of continuing the war, a war that no-one really believes in anymore just for the sake of not backing down. Due to the revelations about the slightly disturbing and undesirreable way in which the western countries have been running the war it is not surprising that they are no longer supported by the general public. The article goes on to describe the people running the war as being manipulated or just plain ignorant of the way in which they are running the systems. Just because weapons in modern society can be controled by computers it does not mean that nothing is going to go wrong as computers do not pick sides they simply do what is typed into them.making the porcess of war much simpler but also much more dangerous. Computers are not secure they are not infalable things can go missing from a computer just as easily as if they had been dropped from a pocket.
This article I found really interesting. the word useage was interesting and did give me plenty of ideas. but i decided that the fact that the article itself aimed so much towards the thought of everything being computerised, I would look at how the people controling the comperters were acting. In the article they are reffered to as puppets and the visual was just too good to resist.
I drew a very simple image for this. again in ink over watercolour, but i do like this image.
