A Soldier’s Life Disrupted…Tech Tales from the Front Lines Part 2 Artwork

Weapons of Mass Disruption

We live in a VUCA world – volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous – where the only constant is change, complexity is growing, and all the ambiguity this creates is making us feel anxious and uncertain. The world is being disrupted over and over again, and the risks previously categorized as “unknown unknowns” have become commonplace. Everywhere we turn, Mount VUCA is in various stages of volcanic eruption. Join IQ4U’s Dr. Tamara Schwartz and her invited guests in this new podcast exploring the intersection of globalization, technology, business, ethics, and social change as we learn to live with Weapons of Mass Disruption.

On the last episode of WMD, one of Dr. Schwartz’s student veterans, Mr. Jon Ritt, a business analytics major at the York College of Pennsylvania, shared war stories from his first deployment to Southwest Asia to describe how technology is shaping the battlefield. On this episode, part two of a two-part story, Jon shares the story of his second deployment which occurred several years after the first deployment. He compares and contrasts how both he and the battlefield technology had changed between the deployments, and he speculates on how emerging technologies will continue to change the battlefield today.
