Even though cyber warfare is a very popular topic, and many attacks have been conducted that made both commercial enterprises and governments spend a lot of money. However, many experts argue that many wars that took place in recent history Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Chechnya and etc. had very little to do with hi tech warfare. On the contrary, modern weapons systems and cyber war have even been counterproductive. Furthermore, it’s argued that even firepower is not that important, what is of importance in these wars that make the headlines in the whole world are the social and political dimensions, and even though due to the expansion of the internet as a communication medium, there is significantly registered traffic and attack attempts in a new form, many argue that they have little impact on today’s ways of waging war, and it is argued that it won’t change much in the next millennium.
