Computers are pivotal components in modern society: daily life, banking, and military. What must be considered and what risks do we all face when they are used in conflict? These concerns are societal in nature and apply to both "minor" and "major" groups, governments, and militaries. There will be opportunity for ample questions from the audience. The intention is to share the overall attendee perspective. The goal is to be thought provoking, not scare-mongering.
