Why are we talking about Information Warfare?

Presented at DEF CON 6 (1998), Aug. 1, 1998, 2 p.m. (50 minutes).

Lorenzo will try to assess the reasons of the growing fame of information warfare subject. The world is changing but not that much. He will speak at continuity and changes in information warfare in relation to military and strategic thinking. Most of the ideas developed in relation to information warfare have been thought at the beginning of this century. Moreover, there is the problem of intelligence requirements for performing information warfare. The main argument of his speech can be that what has changed is the TIME and SPEED factors but not the strategic and military thinking behind.
