News: Technology providing war insights
As the first missiles fell on Iraq Wednesday night, technology helped people sort out their emotions about the conflict, extend a lifeline to loved ones, and mount protests.
Military families revealed their darkest fears in blogs, Iraqis documented life in Baghdad on the Web, and antiwar activists exchanged frantic e-mails, urging people to shut down city intersections and, by all means, bring their digital cameras to document it.
Advances in technology are giving people immediate insight into war-related events--and people's feelings about them--more than ever before. No medium is doing it faster than the blog.
