Techknology and warfare

Do advance's in techknology affect warfare? My answer is yes. For example World War 1 was partially brought about by the invention of dynomite and storable nitroglycerin, becuase of this it allowed for bigger explosions and much more versitly guns, not to mention a faster rate of fire from their guns and a faster reload time. This one invention lead to many peoples death.
Does warfare effect techknology? My answer to this is yes. For example World War 2 brought about the creation of the nuclear bomb. A weapon so powerful that just one could take out entire city's, distroy the land, and spoil the land, creatures, and plants for many years.
In today's world we have many inventions created for war that have now entered into every day life. Just a few examples are: Nuclear energy, Gps, the Computer, and Internet, just to name a few. I'm sure that there will be many more inventions first used for warfare, but will soon develope into home appliance's.

Riff on sidewalking

Riff on Sidewalking
By: Shel Silverstein
Riff by: Joey King


They say if you step on a crack you’ll break your mothers back.
But that’s silly you see,
I mean think how many times you have stepped on a crack,
And did you mom’s back break,
I think not.

So I’m going to step on this crack,
on my way home from school.
But when I stepped through the threshold of my home,
I saw my mistake.

She walked toward me hunched over,
using her hand for support,
her face racked with pain and asked.
“How was your day?”
