Cybersecurity --- What drives the growth of military industry? Ginger mentioned do we need murderers to keep the doctors busy? Obviously we don't! However, we have ongoing wars for 100 years across the world. Even since WWII there hasn't been peace everywhere in the world (not even in Europe, - lets mention the wars in ex Yugoslavia or the NATO campaign over Serbia, or the problems in Ukraine-Russia). Why does the world increase production of nuclear weapons? While I can understand the necessity of some small-arms (as guns) in order to keep the public order and security of states, I can't understand the necessity for heavy military weaponry for purposes of economic development. If cybersecurity drives economic development the same is true for military industry - we can say that military industry drives economic development. I would conclude, any sort of militarization (even cyber armament) is not good for the global development but sadly it is our reality.
