THE COLD WARImpacts Of Technology The cold war helped with NASA’s technology. Through the war the US learned the mistakes on their weapons, and spent time and money to perfect them. Like the nuclear bomb. The US wanted to find out how to get their men stronger, and more reliable, so they did DNA research and some experiments. The US decided to make better military technology. To prove that the US was better, they came up with enough money to build a rocket and space-able suits to go to the moon before the other countries could, and put up their flag. The US also created longer-ranged bombs. The US came up with lasers, not just for military purpose though. Lasers are also used in surgical purposes as well. The US was so far from Russia, so they created rockets that could carry bombs over to them, and release them on time. Since the cold war, The US has advanced in computers greatly. Computers becoming smaller, and being able to hold more data, and being able to do more. They also gained basic languages for the military to communicate so traitors who were listening in couldn’t understand. Our being able to call people far away also advanced, using satellites. One of the biggest advances is internet. The internet has become wider, and faster.
