From the article "At the same time, according to him, robots are unlikely to replace human soldiers on the future battlefield, but they will definitely increase their skills and capabilities."

This gives the same old school thinking the Russian Army always had of the Russian soldier was expendable.  The photo below isn't that far from the truth.

Sci-fi weapons now reality

These weapons use the power of an electrically induced magnetic field to launch a projectile at 3 km/s or 8.7 times the speed of sound; compared to the fastest bullet at 3.5 times the speed of sound.

What makes this even "better" for the military ships of the future is that the weight of the ship is lower because smaller projectiles are needed, no explosives are needed, and even more important the ship will not explode if the "Ship Magazine"[were all the artillery is stored on a destroyer] is hit in battle.

This is what a normal setup would look like.

The railgun system would look like this 

(note how the projectile is light enough for one person to carry)

what weapons are inhumane and what the future holds for war

Some weapons that police use such as pepper spray, stun guns or rubber bullets if used in a war would be a war crime because how they are meant to be used to immobilize the other person.

Women: The Heroes of the Impact of the Industrial Revolution on Women

The Industrial Revolution was both a good improvement and a bad situation for women. The Industrial Revolution gave more women options to be someone other than standard housewives. This is defiantly a step up, however, they still lack access to proper education. Because of this, many women weren’t able to just focus on work, because they also had to focus on taking care of their children and the house. Spending 40-60 hours a week at work and probably 20 hours a week at home can be very overwhelming. But this did not stop women. This encouraged women to rise up and demand better quality of life, work and education. The strong and hardworking women who dealt with the struggles of the Industrial Revolution were certainly heroes for those women who benefited from the driving force of the women’s movement.

Technology and our Relationship

Technology use to be the main causes of me and my girlfriend’s fights. Where she would get upset about me liking a girl’s Instagram, and where I would get upset when she every talked to her guy friends. Social media has always been a problem beyond our relationship. It would start unnecessary drama from other friends and family about anything: politics, ethics, religion, gender identity rights, and the list goes on. I use to be a heavy Facebook user that would always like and share posts of interest. Normally no one likes or comments on them and that just turned out to be very upsetting. Being on Facebook also distracted me from doing school work. I would spend hours on Facebook instead of doing homework. Because it was so distracting, depressing and dramatic, I decided to stop going on Facebook and other social medias. I can not tell you how I am more stress free about pointless things in my life. Overall, I am generally happy compared to when I was on social media. I believe this had easily made our relationship easier and happier. I wish my girlfriend would stop going on social media, but its more complicated and personal for her.
