This was my first thought. It's sad that whenever new technology is developed, governments think of ways to use the technology to kill people.

- run4yourlives 16y agoA simple look a history suggests that 99% of all human invention begins with looking for a better way of killing each other. Don't blame governments, we're all like that.
- philwelch 16y agoThat's kind of a weird thing to say, since the main reason so many inventions are related to weapons is directly because political entities war with each other so much. Serial killers, cuckolded husbands, and street gangs don't usually pay for new weapons inventions the way governments do.
- sliverstorm 16y agoYet, this is really only because every other government is doing the exact same thing. An arms race naturally has a self-defense component.
