We are facing at least the eighth technical revolution.

We are not sure whether this is the third or fourth technical revolution. The technical revolutions are:

1) Industrialisation

2) Assembly line

3) Computers

4) Automation (Robots in the car factories)

5) Internet.

6) 3D printing. (Internet of Things), That means the ability to transform 3D CAD images. Straight to physical objects. 

7) Artificial intelligence, which allows for the creation of CAD drawings at a new speed and accuracy. 

8) Human-shaped robots, or General Purpose (GP) robots. Those robots can use the same tools as humans. And they can be as flexible as humans. 

Maybe we should mention the steam machine as one of those technical revolutions. The steam machine allowed the building of factories. into places,  there was no water. The steam machine made it possible. To create giant hammers in the steel factories. The steam machine allowed workers to use the weaving and spinning machines. 

An assembly line made it possible. To make products fast. Those workers didn’t need high training. And they were easy to replace. That made strikes almost impossible, because factories that used assembly lines didn’t need trained workers. A worker who took one one-hour course could make cars. 

The computer allowed. To create CAD drawings that were easy to input to robots. The Internet allowed. To transfer those images. Through wires to the opposite side of the world. The 3D printer allows researchers  to turn those images into physical objects. We can say. The 3D printers can turn. The idea of physical holograms in reality. The developer just sends the CAD image to the 3D printers, and that can be done over the net. 

The human-shaped AI-controlled robots are so-called general-purpose tools. Those robots can transform any factory into a fully automated manufacturing platform. In the future. AI makes a layer. Between the user and fully automated systems. The AI can act as a midbrain. That controls quality. And other things like internal and external logistics. The automated manufacturing platforms. Can make many things by using the same machines. The 3D printing systems. And general-purpose robots are flexible systems. 

Many researchers claim that our society is coming to an end. But what destroys society? If the society's basement is not suitable for the modern world. That causes destruction. The models of the modern socioeconomic environment. Based on the idea. That every person goes to work. In Western capitalism, people work for private employers and pay their taxes. The idea is that private industry guarantees competition. And that keeps the environment wealthy. If the company cannot make products that people want. That means the company will fall. 

Capitalism means. The company should sell good products. As possible. At the lowest possible price. That causes a need to automate production lines. 

So, the Darwinistic idea is that. The ability to give answers to challenges in the marketing environment. Guarantees that. The company can survive and grow. If a company makes bad or old products. That means bankruptcy if the company cannot fix its products or economy. The problem is that robots are taking jobs that people once had. Robots are working in car factories. That means there is no need for human workers. 

Robots are tools. That makes it possible to remove workers from assembly lines. Today, most car assembly lines work using robots. This causes a situation. There are even lots of orders that don’t necessarily bring work. To humans. The model goes like this: when the factory gets additional orders. That automatically means that they must hire workers. Today, the company just bought a couple of new robots. The robot will not go on strike. 

They don’t need salaries or coffee breaks. That makes them perfect workers. And that is one of the paradoxes in capitalism. The company itself is not a social security bureau. The company works with as low costs as it can. That means the company outsources unnecessary people to the government. And those outsourced people get their money.  From Social Security. The problem with socialism was that. There was no competition. And that means that companies that worked in communist countries made bad products. People bought those products only if they had. 

The society. Or our economic models are not yet adapted to the technical revolution that began in the early 19th century. 

But when we think about the basement of society, that basement was created long before the “Spinning Jenny”, the automatic spinning machine. That machine and its ability to make lots of thread. Without breaks. It caused unemployment in people who made yarn. The automatic loom. Made it possible to create a canvas without breaks. At the same time, the machine saws took jobs from the sawyers. The combine harvesters left lots of people without work. In agriculture. That means that those people needed work. And the military offered that work. Those people were sent to the overseas colonies. And that began colonialism. 

We can consider that the basement of our economy was made in the 14th or 15th century. In that time, agriculture and other things kept people busy. When machines took people’s jobs, they were left without work. The reason. The government needed lots of people. Was simple. People are needed in military service. If there were no war. Those people needed work that kept them busy. And the colonies in America, Africa, and later Asia and Australia offered a good place where European countries could send their unhappy people. 

But today, even armies start to use more robots. Outsourcing warfare to robots is politically reasonable. That thing means that the robots remove human casualties from their own military.  

The fact is that the machines mean that the incoming that comes to the companies. It will not necessarily mean. The government gets. Any tax incoming. Those companies that make some merchandise can keep their HQ far away. The robots guarantee that they will not hire any new employees. So, the new technical revolution means this. Governments must find a new way to bring in income. To themselves. The lack of workplaces means that the number of unemployed people grows. Modern technology allows engineers to create products from the other side of the world. 

If you don’t know the entire system, you cannot protect it.

Cloud services can be more risky than anyone expected. When we use cloud services, data is stored in physical places. That data can be encrypted and stored across multiple physical servers or hard disks. In that kind of quantum security, data can be in small pieces. In  multiple servers. That thing makes it harder to collect data. Into one entirety. And the problem is in the systems. 

Which can collect those data pieces and deliver them to the user. The service providers have always had access to those systems. And in that case. If the attacker gets the service provider’s passwords. It's possible. That they can collect those data images into a new entirety without telling the data owners. When we talk about systems, we must remember. There are always humans who use those systems. 

A hacker must not be a qualified programmer. The only thing that the hacker must get. Are passwords. Another thing is that. If people who work on the opposite side of the world, in a service center. Will be cheated for making the backgates, that thing can open the system to the entire world. One of the things that can open the system is a simple phone call from a mobile telephone. That is forgotten on the table. If there are no passwords or biometric recognition, it’s possible. That a hacker simply makes one phone call. And orders passwords. and user ID:s.

Another thing in cloud services is the servers. Data can remain safe in the cloud. Another thing is that the data must be somewhere.  There must be physical hard disks in some data center. The data center is located in a physical country. And the security laws of that other country. It can be far different from the laws in the EU. There are many countries. Where authorities have 24/7 access to every server that runs in the country. In those countries. Security authorities can check data. That is stored in servers at any time, when they want. 

The data center can be in our homeland. The problem is with the access to and the data. That is stored in those data centers. Can be copied into the third country. The backup copy of that data can be set to transmit data to any server on this planet. And that is the problem with private corporations. The private corporation can act as a honey pot for intelligence services. And in worst cases, those corporations are controlled by North Korean intelligence. 

Those who work in a data service center can use a body camera to take images of the screen. And those images can be delivered. Straight away to satellites. The system can benefit mesh modems. These are installed in drones. In this case, the mobile telephone doesn’t even require a SIM card. The drone acts as a relay station to the satellites. 

In the dirty world of intelligence. The thing that the service provider doesn’t say means more. That information that consults are offering means something. But even more means things that are not mentioned. When we talk about intelligence services. Those organizations are government-controlled. This means that some governments have security panels. There are different authorities that share information with each other. The foreign intelligence search data of the opposition work outside those nations’ borders. They share data with security and other police organizations. And those police organizations share data with intelligence. 

There is a possibility. That intelligence blackmails some workers in data centers. There can be very bad things. That those people have done. They might use narcotics, and those things cause bad things like accidents. An intelligence service can simply request access to the systems. Another problem with private contractors is that. They do not have a similar possibility. To make background checks of employees. As officials have. This means those private corporations can leak data to any point on Earth. 

The route to war can be shorter than we thought.

Energy infrastructure is the key target in hybrid operations. The hybrid operations have two stages. 

1) Cyber and information operations. That thing can tighten the atmosphere. 

2) Sabotage. When somebody harms the physical infrastructure. Like open transformer stations or railways. That can cause losses of life. When somebody uses physical tools to cause harm, that can cause deaths, if the operators are not sharp. 

Those things can cause economic disasters. And economic disasters can cause internal and external pressure. And in a tight situation. It is possible. That somebody puts spark in the powder. 

We live today in the time of strained international relations. That means that the world is apparently at peace. But things like cyber attacks. They're going on all the time. Those cyber attacks mean trolls. Fake news and things like hijacking homepages. Those kinds of things are meant to cheat opponents. Those information operations mean. 

Support for the political movements. That supports some participants’ ideology. We think that this new cold war is the conflict between Russia and NATO. But there are many other participants. Those other participants are China, and many other countries that have their own interests to guard. And the Ukrainian war is only the visible part of the giant game of power. The power of raw materials and technology. 

This allows the winner to control the world. Things. Like rare earth metals are important in the modern microchip industry. The green energy. Or energy that doesn’t need fossil fuels. Let's the people and nations that invest in the petrochemical industry. And natural gas and oil without incoming money. This thing takes a giant income out of the Arab and Putin’s hands. And that is one of the things that we must realise. 

Information operations can spread into hybrid operations. Those hybrid operations involve threats to leading politicians. And one thing that we must understand is that the steps to full-scale global warfare go through the global economic disasters. 

The route to war: 

1) Information operations. Information operations, or psychological operations (INFO-OPS, PSY-OPS), have a purpose. It is to turn the public opinion. To support the operator's own goals. The fact is that those operators can sell their services to political movements. And the back gift can be that the political movement supports those operators’ policy. The information that is used is very emotional. 

2) Information operations spread into hybrid operations. There is always a possibility that, when the physical components are used in operations. Somebody makes miscalculations. And that causes deaths and injuries.

There is a possibility that a jet engine sucks a drone into it. Or the explosive drone kills some people. When its users want to detonate open substations. 

3) Fear or some other things take the trustworthiness from economics. That reflects the economic situation. 

4) Falling economies form internal socio-economic tensions. That causes disorders. 

5) And the rumors and other things turn into a full-scale military escalation. 

Information operations. It can take trust away. From some important economic structures. That means that the information operations. Or faked and propagandistic ways exaggerate the economic problems. Or they cause a situation. That investors escape. Because. They affraid. Of their investments and their personal safety.  That causes a series of bankruptcies. And then the internal disorders cause a situation where full-scale conflicts begin. 

When information operations accelerate, they will turn into hybrid operations. In hybrid operations. It is possible to damage the opponent's infrastructure. 

The purpose of those attacks is to deliver fear. That means those attacks can involve. The use of drones. With explosives against the electric infrastructure. If the atmosphere is full of fear and aggression. Those drone strikes can exacerbate the political and social atmosphere. If the user of those drones is not careful. That can cause deaths. 

And it's a big risk that somebody dies in those operations. Those ultimate hybrid operations can involve assassinations and other violent escalations. Those kind of things causes the requirement. For Counter-Strike. That opens the road. To the full-scale military actions against the opponent. This kind of scenario is frightening. And if the opponent cannot respond with conventional warfare. That causes the use of nuclear weapons. 

New eye and brain implants can restore vision.

“A new wireless retinal implant has shown unprecedented success in restoring central vision for people with advanced age-related macular degeneration, with most participants in a major international trial regaining the ability to read letters and even short words. Credit: Shutterstock” (ScitechDaily, Stunning Results: Revolutionary Retinal Chip Lets Patients With Severe Vision Loss Read Again)

New eye and brain implants can restore vision. But they can do much, much more. They can give a super view or a remote view to their users. 

The new era for artificial vision is here. Solar power eye implants. They are used to restore sight to blind people. Those systems are tools that can be as fundamental as we might think. The machine's view is not a human's normal view. This means the system is not connected with natural view. And that is one of the things that we should discuss. The system that restores the view is the CCD camera, and the system that gives impulses to the nervous system. It is on the opposite side. When researchers make those microchips, they bring people closer to cyborgs. The systems that connect humans and machines. The bionic eye implant can make it possible. To create a system that communicates with computers. And that system can transfer screens into history. The eye implant is safer to install. Than an implant in the brain.

"Demonstrating the small size of the PRIMA ultra-thin microchip. Credit: Science Corporation" (ScitechDaily, 

The thing is that. Those CCD systems can involve IR and UV sensors. That gives their users an ultimate view in the darkness. The IR system that uses IR light in the dark view cannot detect systems that use UV light. But the fact is that those eye implants can transmit any data to the nervous system. This makes the machine view very interesting. And a complicated thing. We know that blind people need those implants. But what if somebody wants the retina implant that gives them night vision? If we replace the human eye. With the bionic eye. 

This gives more possibilities to model those systems. And that causes a basic question: what if somebody just wants a bionic eye? Bionic systems can also interact with other systems. Which can be surveillance cameras, drones, etc. This means that the eye-implanted microchip can communicate with things like computers and exchange data, or a camera system. Those that are on a helmet or at the front of the eyes. The same technology. That which is used in those bionic microprocessors can benefit in intelligent contact lenses, which get their electricity. From the natural light. 

This means that the implanted microchips can replace things like computer screens. And the other thing is that those systems can give a super view. To their users. The microchip that is implanted in the eye can also transmit data. Through Bluetooth to other systems. And that makes it possible.  That remote operators see. And hear. Everything that the person says. Who carries those systems hears. and sees. Those systems can also have a microphone. And maybe in some futuristic world, bionic implants can be equipped with laser microphones. That can hear things. That happens over long distances. The laser microphone can also transfer oscillations from any surface. Tike tables and walls.  To the remote operators. The only problem with laser microphones is that. They must have a direct line to the observed system.

Can robots replace humans?

Elon Musk’s vision of the future without work is one of the most radical models for future ecosystems. A world where robots do all the work is technically possible. But we must remember that outsourcing work to robots and neural networks requires. The government's revenue logic has changed. Today, the revenue logic is based on a model where most people are working. People spend most of their adult lives in the working life. They pay taxes, and the main problem with this model is this. Those people. Like me, they are working in private companies. Those companies are not any social security offices. Their mission is to bring money. To their owners. This means that if there is no work in the company, they can fire their workers. Or, nicely, those companies can outsource those workers and their lives to the government. 

That brings costs for the government. Human workers are a necessary thing. Until the human-shaped robots take their places. The human worker is a necessary cost for the company. Whose purpose is to bring money. To their owners. If we think purely from an economic point of view. The robot. Which costs turn lower per year than a human worker is economical. Those robots require electricity. Same way. As supercomputers. Those drive algorithms that those systems need require electricity. 

The problem with ultimate capitalism is this: the human worker is the necessary cost. Part of the production line, or value chain. The reason for. Why robots have not yet taken the place of human workers. Is that. They are expensive. And their computer capacity is limited. But modern WLAN networks allow robots to connect to supercomputers and even quantum computers. In high-power radiation, those robots can also use wire-optical control. 

That means those robots can also use optical wires to transport information. Human-shaped robots can also use similar tools. As humans. And that means the same robot that works as a welder can work as a soldier. And that is one of the biggest threats in robotics. The robot soldier can also cooperate with vehicles that can carry high-power computers. Robot soldiers can also be. Wire optical guided. This means that jammers will not affect them. 

That means those robots can connect. With the mobile armoured vehicles that carry more powerful computers using optical wires. Those robots can also have laser LEDs in their hands. And receivers in multiple places in their body. So those robots can also form a protected wired network by touching each other's shoulders. Or by taking hands with each other. That means those systems can connect their data systems. Under one entity. This allows them to drive complex algorithms. Without central computers. 

And those systems can drive complicated algorithms. The independently operating robots with advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/ Computer-Aided Manufacturing) systems allow. The operator can simply drive parameters. Like CAD drawings and material lists to the system. And then those robot workers with 3D printer systems make the products. 

The fact is that capitalism guarantees competition. Competition keeps the markets wealthy. If somebody makes bad products, people will not buy them. We can say that this is one version of Darwinism. If the actor cannot respond to changes in the ecosystem. That causes removal. Or that causes a need to change the internal ecosystem. The product can be bad. Because it's too expensive. And one thing that we must realise is that. There is no company. That can operate without governmental acceptance. Every single company. Works in some government jurisdiction. 

One version of the industrial spy operations. Is simple. Calling the companies to make their products. In their country. There are security laws. In some countries. The companies must cooperate with the authorities. At any time when the authorities want. If the production happens in those countries. Authorities can observe it at any time when they want. One version is to force the companies. To transport their production lines to those countries. 

That happens. By driving down the production lines in our countries. It is simple. To dump merchandise. To markets here for free. They can seem like a very nice thing. But they disturb the competition. There is a model.  Some multinational corporations hijack markets by dumbing free products there. That causes bankruptcy for its competitors. And then. That company can use. It's dominating position as it wants. So, that operation guarantees. The dominating marketing position. And the ability to order prices. 

But can robots replace humans? That requires a change of attitudes. We must prepare ourselves for situations. Where there are people who will not go to work. We must realise that even welders and cleaners can be replaced by robots. This thing requires that the governments. And, individuals, too. Must change their revenue logic. We must change our attitudes.

How dangerous is the 9M730 Burevestnik missile?

"Burevestnik nuclear cruise missile. (Source: Kyiv Post) (United24media)

The nuclear reactor makes “9M730 Buresvetsnik” a hard target for the defender. If there is damage in the reactor. It can deliver radioactive material around the dorp zone. The nuclear warhead will probably not detonate. But there is a possibility that Russians deliver cobalt into that reactor. That means the system can poison the entire Western hemisphere. If it delivers radioactive cobalt through the reactor. The nuclear reactor’s neutron bombardment transforms the cobalt-59 into cobalt-60. As it makes it into the cobalt bombs. Nobody confesses to keeping cobalt bombs in their hands. That bomb can act as a doomsday weapon; the mission is to act as a “final weapon”. The symbol of madness that could destroy the entire human race. 

Theoretically, the Russian “9M730 Burevestnik” (NATO: SSC-X-9 “Skyfall”) is not a more difficult target for defense than any other subsonic cruise missile. The only problem is to find that missile, and then the fighter can shoot it down. There is one thing. that turns the “9M730 Burevestnik”. Or “Skyfall” missile. Into a very complicated system. And that problem is that the missile itself is nuclear-powered. That means. If the fighter shoots the nuclear-powered missile down. The damaged reactor can deliver radioactive material into a quite large area. Nuclear power gives it a virtually unlimited range. 

And that means that “Skyfall” can poison a large area if its reactor faces damage when the missile or cannon rounds hit that missile. This is one thing that makes nuclear power suitable for military systems. The 9M730 Burevestnik itself carries a nuclear warhead. If that warhead detonates over the target, this causes a situation where the reactor will be vaporized and deliver radioactive fallout in large areas. There is also a possibility that this missile has cobalt in its warhead. Or it can deliver cobalt through the reactor. That causes radioactive fallout in the line. that follows this missile. 

It’s possible that there will be more variants of the “Skyfall” missile. 

The “Skyfall” missile can fly for months in the atmosphere. Theoretically, that flight time is unlimited.  And that raises new questions about the future of those systems. The same technology that the Russians developed for the Skyfall missile can be used in larger systems. Those systems can patrol in the air and carry others. Maybe hypersonic missiles. That thing can be the super-powerful version of the Chinese drone carrier. In those cases, the nuclear-powered system can carry things. 

Like one or two “Brahmos” or “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles under their body or wings. Those systems can launch the hypersonic missiles to their targets from any altitude. There is a possibility that the 9M730 Burevestnik is only a testbed, whose purpose is to test how that technology works, and perhaps those experiences can be applied to more advanced and frightening systems. There is also a possibility that the 9M730 Burevestnik can be launched into the air, allowing it to patrol like a super drone. If that system must not attack. It will be called to the base. The advanced model can have the ability. To accelerate and slow its speed between hyper- and supersonic areas.

China wants to get a position. As a new global force.

"Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian, as photographed by JMSDF on September 11, 2025." (Wikipedia)

China completed its new Fujian-class aircraft carrier. The carrier uses magnetic catapults and new types of aircraft. The Fujian uses a conventional diesel-and-steam turbine system. Fujian is the successor to aircraft carriers Liaoning and Shandong. 

The first People’s Liberation Army aircraft carrier is Liaoning. China brought that ship from Russia. It is the Kuznezov-class carrier, and its successor is the Shandong. The Chinese copy of the Kuznezov-class carriers. Those two carriers reach 31 knots. The Fujian is the new version. That looks more like the U.S. Aircraft carriers. 

The air wing includes new Shenyang J-35 stealth fighters. And the older Shenyang J-15. These are Chinese copies of the Russian Su-27 “Flanker”. J-35 is a carrier-based stealth fighter that is similar to the Lockheed F-35 Lightning II. That aircraft is one of the things that can cause trouble for other countries. Those carriers also carry AWACS and other support systems. 

The Fujian is the Type 003 aircraft carrier, and its successor, Type 004, will be a nuclear-powered version of the Fujian. The nuclear-powered aircraft carriers give China the global strike capacity. Those aircraft carriers are needed to support global-scale operations. 

"Aircraft Carrier Liaoning (16) at Hong Kong Waters" (Wikipedia)

Two J-15Ts and a J-15D in Zhuhai airshow, 2024. (Wikipedia)

Two J-35s (TWZ)

"The U.S. Defense Department in a 2021 report titled “Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China” listed 14 countries — including Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and Kenya — as locations that the Chinese military has considered for developing “bases or military logistics facilities.”Regarding China’s move to assist the development of Cambodia’s Ream Naval Base, the report stated that the move indicates that China’s “overseas basing strategy has diversified.”

(AsiaNews, China expands military presence under Belt and Road initiative)

Capacity improvement?

"In 2017, China established an overseas military base at Doraleh Port in the East African nation of Djibouti. Currently it is China’s only overseas base and has been used to supply destroyers and other vessels dispatched to counter piracy off the coast of Somalia. A U.S. military official said in April 2021 that China had been expanding the port’s pier, which could now host a port call by a Chinese aircraft carrier." (AsiaNews, China expands military presence under Belt and Road initiative)

Those new ships should strengthen China’s position. In the global theatre. Those aircraft carriers are also needed to support and escort Chinese strategic bombers. If those bombers face engine failures or something disturbs their operations. Those fighters can cut the game. They can support rescue teams in cases where some nuclear weapons must be recovered. Those aircraft carriers also. It might have a role. In the support operations of the Chinese overseas military bases. 

China already has an overseas military base in Djibouti. And it has a logistics and other facilities chain. Between China and Djibouti. China considers logistics and military bases in Africa. The fact is that. China wants to enlarge its military footprint. And the bases at Angola and Namibia will support the Chinese missions in the Atlantic. The Chinese influence increases. The Chinese military base in Djibouti is fully operational. It is officially for anti-pirate operations. 

But as we see, China plans to increase its influence in Africa. By establishing a chain of naval and logistics bases. On the East African Coast. Those bases should also protect Chinese investments in Africa. And one of the things that China hopes for. Those bases bring it. They are new allies. Those who want to make deep military and economic cooperation with China. China wants. To take the place. That the Soviet Union had.
