  1. Terrorism in Technology:When “Safety” Goes Too Far Mercer University School of Engineering Professional Practice, Dr. Davis C. Robinson

  2. “…Single women over the age of 35 where more likely to be killed by a terrorist than they were to get married.

Technology is also used as a major form of communication; through phone calls, text messages, and emails, we seem to always “be connected.” Little do we realize, but technology seems to rule over our lives.

  6. Advancement or Decline? With modern advances in technology, terrorists have access to the world in the palm of their hands: • PDA • Cameras • Laptop Computers • Etc.
