RE: Now you see me, Now you Don't: "Cloaking Devices" are no longer Science-Fiction

in #modernscience7 years ago (edited)

Thank you very much for the kind comment. Like Most inventions "In the right hands this technology could do wonders while in the wrong ones it could cause great harm" (Or rather be used to since a cloaking device is technically not a weapon but we never know if there are other purposes that it could serve.) Take for example "Virtual Machines"..... An excellent way to test malicious computer code inside of a compartmentalized environment but while testing it a second benefit was discovered which is it's inability to leaking the original host ip address from within the said environment and when this technology is used as an added layer of protection for an individual (like people who wish to expose the truth without having themselves "put at risk") it offers a layer of protection that some of the absolute BEST firewalls cannot duplicate which makes this a VERY GOOD thing! However the same cannot be said if such technology or a good understanding of it fell into the hands of individuals with malintent (not a real word but shouldn't it be!? ^ ^) like stalkers, pedophiles ect, It could bring about horrible results. It is basically one of those situations where a Gun does not kill people anymore than a Pencil makes a mistake while writing. We are glad that you enjoyed this article and perhaps we could try to throw a little more of this into future articles as well. To be completely honest this was my partner (Electrocutie) who picked this topic and wrote about it and even I have to admit that I was a little blown away myself.
