Grande Manuel Castells

Between minute 26 and 30 (4 minutes) Castells talks about wars.
- Public Opinion is against wars.
- No one thinks Iraq is a real threat for western world.
- Throught technology you try to finish wars in days.
We are at 2011 and USA still at Afganistan and Iraq.
It seems that technology is not enough to finish wars in days.

@alanmullery - it helps if you play Strobe from Deadmau5 quietly in the back ground, then Castells words are dramatised, and they become sensational

@samdonuge I am a BA undergraduate studying sociology and can relate to what you say. You can study and incorporate sophisticated philosophical or mathematical developments via economics in how our world is shaped, to the "mundane" study of interactions of everyday life between specific individuals and then even combine these together.
It is interdisciplinary in its very nature and can cover virtually anything. This is the first time I have hear of Castells and his theory, but I like it.
rational human beings hahaha

I like Castells vision on the impact of the information age on war, I came across Jean Baudrillard's vision where he states that since the cold war the most dangerous wars are not the war itself but the threat of war. "the balance of terror is the terror of balance" p. 33 - Simulacra and simulation
And I have been thinking about how it looks now and how it will look like when the digital information age gets more and more mature.
