Preventing the Next 9/10: The Homeland Security Challenges of Technological Evolution and Convergence in the Next Ten Years

Abstract

From the journal's abstract for this article: "Rodrigo Nieto-G'_mez looks at the innovation process that drives the technology sector and how the convergence of technology made 9/11 possible. He also explores the difficulties that technology convergence poses for homeland security professionals. 'This retrospective distortion creates a security ecosystem where homeland security practitioners feel pressured to try to "connect the dots" every time, instead of adapting to an environment of emerging patterns and mutating dots that cannot be connected.'"
