Quote by Lord Robertson

The rapid dissemination of technology and information offers entirely new ways of production, but it can also bring the spectre of more states developing weapons of mass destruction.

The rapid dissemination of technology and information offers

Summary

This quote suggests that while advancements in technology and the sharing of information can lead to innovative and efficient methods of production, they also have the potential to increase the number of states who possess weapons of mass destruction. The ease at which technology and information spread can make it easier for nations, particularly those with malicious intentions, to acquire and utilize dangerous weaponry. Therefore, this quote highlights the dual nature of progress, signaling both the benefits and risks that come with rapid dissemination in the modern world.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?- Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattleCan patter out their hasty orisons.No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, - The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires.What candles may be held to speed them all?Not in The hands of boys but in their eyesShall shine The holy glimmers of goodbyes. The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
