Evolution of war
As time changes and technology improves, war becomes different from what it used to be, however, it still exists for the reasons like more land domination, resources and the need to prove a country's power or defend its country. In a nutshell, wars are now fought with more powerful weapons, evolving from swords to guns. The war machines also evolved from wooden machines to tanks and aeroplanes. Even chemical are being used in war, and nuclear bombs are being created. The latest invention are mostly invented for the sake of war, such as the internet. Although war did change drastically over time, the damage and sorrow caused by it will never change no matter what age it is.

I am Leon Ng from 2O220. why is it that internet is invented for war? cyber warfare? pls justify your point and provide explanation as well as examples. I think that this post is too short and it only states a few points, mainly the common ones. Maybe you can be more specific when stating examples. Also, i do agree with you that war will always cause damage and sorrow. Bloodshed and destruction are inevitable during wars and these are the grey areas of wars. Many people will sacrifice their lives and infrastructures will be destroyed in a blink of eye. The effects of wars are not pleasant and wars should be avoided. Furthermore, as the technology advances, nuclear weapons and other powerful weapons are invented which will cause more damages to the country being attacked, more people will die, more buildings will be destroyed and the effects are everlasting. Hence, wars should be avoided as much as possible.
