How Did Computer Technology Affect The Development Of The Cold War

The Cold War was a major event that shaped the American scientific community and the university system. Universities targeted their focus on creating more doctorate students particularly, in scientific fields such as Physics in order to man the large scale science projects happening in the United States. The scientific community became more dependent on the support of the government to create laboratories and provide equipment for their research and development. Though this aid created a lack of created and breadth in scientific research and created more administrators who focused on the upkeep of such technology rather than the possibilities to expand and create new research topics. The partnerships were the beginning of the strong connection between science and the government. Nevertheless, the partnership did create large scale
Computer technology and Psychology were both highly researched and developed in the Cold War to become tools to the American defense. Starting with the computer industry, which was created completely from the bottom up because of the need for an Analog Computer for the Navy. Looking at the computer industry and the science that has created much of the modern technology today because of the development of the computer in 1944. Similarly, the beginning of Behavior Science, “…attempted to reach across disciplines to pull out the most useful techniques and tools so that a coalition might devise a full-on grand theory of human relations and human action in the world.” They aimed to tie Behaviorism to more relevant ideas and from this they created the infamous MK-ULTRA project. American shaped new forms of science to fall in line with Cold War science which was targeted at making the United States the superior technological and scientific
