Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to play a significant role in various aspects of the military, including logistics, intelligence gathering, and even combat. In logistics, AI can be used to optimize supply chain management, improve maintenance schedules for equipment, and predict equipment failures. In intelligence gathering, AI can be used to analyze large amounts of data from various sources, such as satellite imagery and social media, to identify potential threats and targets. In combat, AI can be used to control unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, as well as assist with decision-making in complex situations. However, it's important to note that the use of AI in the military is a complex and controversial topic, and the development and deployment of AI in military systems is subject to significant ethical, legal, and operational considerations.

Manufacturing output continues to improve, even though the number of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. continues to decline and this trend will not stop.

A former science teacher who believed in the power and possibility of online learning over two decades ago, he taught himself how to build courses in HTML on class intranets. Kevin taught one of the first hybrid, educational technology courses for teachers, for the University of Washington. And, after building countless web pages and classes on the early world wide web, he now helps develop e-learning programs, consults on virtual training'best practices' and has many interests in other internet and educational technology-related areas. Kevin finds he's now enjoying learning more from his children who are all deep into their own technology-related careers and entrepreneurial endeavors. With two new grandchildren, he's investigating more seriously the advancing new technologies in an effort to understand the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve happiness and success in a technological future.
