I. Introduction.
The hum from one of the two cooling fans is heard slightly through the door. The lone light source is seen from Unit One in the wee hours of the night. The glow from the monitor illuminates the users face as he stares back at the upcoming image he just downloaded from the Sony Home page. This activity, downloading happens in the homes of users on a daily basis, whether it be graphic, text, or audio files . This is all possible through the cyberspace society of the Internet, a vast array of almost unlimited information. A twenty -four hour virtual society where any type of business or entertainment is possible, but like any other society there is always an element of crime .
II. Ground Zero
At the height of the Cold War, military production grew at an alarming rate. New technologies were being developed to provide protection for citizens of the United States under the banner of 'National Security.' One of America's foremost Cold War think-tanks, the RAND Corporation, faced a unique strategic problem during the Cold War period which involved the United States military capabilities in the event of a nuclear war.
