'''DAZEDLY -STUDENTS- DIGITAL'''

THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY - most lovingly and admiringly called !WOW! the world over, because of its supreme vision, and great values -

Rules and regulations would do everything to help build a secure and a happy world. Peaceful protests and dialogue, and yet more dialogue, is the real and only course, The World Students Society needs to consider and adopt in all its future endeavors.

THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY - for every subject in the world, is the exclusive ownership of every student in the world :

All revenues : all scholarships, all endowments, all book rights, all film rights, all advertising revenues, belong to the students of the world. All administered and governed by your elected representatives.

Everything overseen by the Founders and the esteemed members of The International Committee, chosen by you, for a period determined by you all.

THERE ARE MANY, MANY THINGS............ that computers can do now which of course they could not do in a few years ago. For instance, they could not create a virtual universe 

An international research team has already simulated 13 billion years of cosmic revolution for the  first time. The simulation ran on supercomputers using software called Arepo.

An average Laptop would require nearly 2,000 years to run the same simulation.

IN 1973 A COMPUTER PROGRAMME WAS developed at MIT to model global sustainability.
Instead, it predicted that by 2040, our civilization would end.

Many, many in history have made apocalyptic predictions that have so far failed to materialize. But what the computer envisioned in the 1970s has by and large been coming true.

Could the machine be right?

Now science has partnered with National Geographic's New Breakthrough series to create this video imagining what the humanity might look like in 1,000  years.

It's hard to wrap the mind around how far advanced we'll be by then.

And, now, to the battlefield on your digital screens:

As information gets decentralised on social media, it shifts power to individuals from states - who previously controlled information through traditional sources of media.

This in result gives enough space to individuals and groups to create their own area of influence and empowers them in a way never imagined before.

These characteristics make social media a weapon to wage political and psychological warfare that mostly aims to disrupt the social, economic and political systems of a country by creating strategic narratives and changing perceptions.

This is exactly the reason that in the modern world, states prefer to use these tactics against an adversary to achieve political and military goals, without indulging in traditional war.

Russia's interference in US presidential elections and annexation of Crimea, Israel's propaganda against Hamas are the prime examples of political warfare waged through the use of social media.

The complexity of social media warfare, where most of the time the actors and adversaries are unknown, where distinguishing combatants and non-combatants is difficult, makes it more dangerous than any other form of warfare where target and battlefield is known and defined.

Today, every state and individual is vulnerable to this form of warfare.

Case in Point : Like any other state, Proud Pakistan is vulnerable too due to the existing internal fault lines in socio-politico economic settings.

The good news is that  Pakistan's military and political institutions are well aware of these threats but in the public domain these threats are considered unreal and untrue.

This attitude needs to be changed by creating a realisation that it is as real as any other threat.

Proud Pakistan, needs to realize the gravity of these threats because today the battlefield has reached our digital screens and every country needs to defend itself and its society.

In this warfare, the visitors are those who know how to shape the storylines that frame the target's understanding, to provoke the responses that impel them to action-

To connect with them at the most personal level, to build a sense of fellowship, and to organise to do it all on a global scale, again and again.

With respectful dedication to the  Grandparents, Parents, Students, Professors and Teachers of the world. See Ya all prepare for Great Global Elections and ''register'' on : wssciw.blogspot.com  and........... Twitter- !E-WOW! - the Ecosystem 2011:
