The government expenditure of both US and the Soviet Union was very high in areas education and pure research in order to accelerate advancements in manufacture and design of advancements in technology exploration equipment like satellites. The rapid advancement in technology consequently led to an advantageous spin off of the technologies. The further led to the environmental movement caused by such advancements in technology explorations as shown by the first colored pictures of the earth were taken from the advancements in technology making people to debate on various aspects relating to the earth surface. Several theories relating to the environment and the earth surface in general were developed through such advancements in technology explorations.
The cold war therefore caused advancements in technology exploration which led to further explorations relating to galaxies and the moon which could not be identified without the discoveries made by the explorers. The advancements and improvement in technology further led to a fast and efficient telecommunication systems and tools. The advancement in communication technology like satellites is attributed to the efforts and funds invested in research and advancements in technology exploration activities. The use of signals in communication as well as telecommunication came as a result of discoveries in advancements in technology explorations.
This competition between the US and Soviet Union had a very strong influence on the development of military equipment which enhances the security of the territories of each of the country. The advancement in military equipment enabled countries to protect their borders from external attacks due to stable and firm security equipment. This consequently led to stability and peaceful coexistence among the people in these countries. The countries were therefore able to produce both the agricultural and industrial products which made the two countries stabilize their economies. The stability of these countries also influenced the
The cold world war also led to the innovations and discoveries relating to computing and data storage as well communication facilities. This strengthened various sectors of the public by adopting and commercializing the technologies in storage of data for companies and organizations or even for individuals when dealing with confidential information. This further led to developments in the world of computers and many business machines. The improvements in technology further enlightened the whole world through telecommunication and networks which are a product of cold world war. Sending of information through emails was also as a result of rapid development in technological expertise in the military. This further enabled smooth transmission of information over the internet which enable in sharing of the necessary information.
The cold war led to the development of means to manage as well as monitoring the propaganda in the press. The intelligence relating to propaganda dissemination was developed through the rivalry of trying to outdo each other in advancements in technology exploration and technological advancements. This therefore facilitated effective flow of information in the media as well as protecting their governments from the propagandas disseminated. This therefore facilitated proper analysis of information necessary for decision making. This therefore enabled the countries to come up with proper ways of analyzing information as well as quick decision making on matters pertaining to the general administration of the country work of the governments of these countries were therefore simplified by the refined systems.
The technologies developed during the Cold world war were very instrumental in the sense that such technologies were modified to suit in medical operations like cancer research. The advanced technology relating signal detection was used in detection of cancerous cells as well treatment of such cancer ailments. This therefore facilitated improvement in the medical field saving lives of many people from cancer.
The cold world war also led to the improved mining techniques through excavation. This therefore facilitated the exploitation of many mineral resources due to availability of mining expertise. The minerals further acted as the source of revenue to the government as well as manufacture of other products like glass and jewelries. These minerals boosted the economy of such countries due to the inflow of money from exchange of minerals with money. The mineral technology is therefore attributed to the rivalry in competition of advancements in technology exploration. The two countries therefore developed many ways to excavate mineral costs at minimum costs and optimal revenue. The large scale projects for buildings were also made and implemented due to the influence of the Cold war where many people design houses which were suitable to the people.
The advancements in technology exploration experiments in the cold world war led to the discoveries and invention which were useful in construction and implementation of the television in order to provide mass media communication to the public since the were no other modes of communication to the population. This therefore led to the most reliable communication system. The television was therefore one of the prominent instruments or tools that resulted from the advancements in technology exploration during the cold world war.
The technology adopted from the Cold war was therefore useful in desalination of water in order to fit the needs of the consumers as well as for other agricultural projects and activities. The technology also enabled digging of boreholes which are necessary in the supply of water both for domestic and industrial use. The competition of the countries in advancements in technology exploration and technological advancements have led to general improvement in the water industry.
The development of the solar power energy were as a result of the Cold world war between US and Soviet Union thereby enabling provision of lighting and heating at both domestic and industrial activities. The solar technology have in return facilitated the provision of heating and lighting. This gave more room for detailed procedures of generating heating and lighting equipment. The advancements in technology exploration have given much emphasis on flight activities such that many people accepted to take flights in the US. The children could also take some fantasy flights. This gave more grounds for evolution of airplanes and technology behind their operation. This also encouraged more creativity in the field of airlines.
The cold war involved hiring of soldiers and training them on the use of satellites and the explosive bombs as well as rockets. This level of expertise in making and using the weapons and other equipment like rocket led to a good background in the field of rocket science and technology used to manufacture explosives. This therefore enabled the US and Soviet Union to gather skills and expertise in manufacturing the equipment needed by the security forces. This may also relate to the issue of hot bombs which are as a result of the technological advancement.
In conclusion, the cold world war have got great impact on the advancements in technology and the way in which techniques like satellites are arranges. This therefore have affected many areas relating to technology especially items relating to military and rocket science. This influenced how the many countries in the rest of the world have reacted to stiff competition the two countries. Cold world war have therefore influenced the future of both the US and Soviet Union in relation to military advancement and intelligence improvement. On the other hand, the US and Soviet Onion concentrated more efforts on the military forgetting the basic sectors like agriculture and manufacturing sectors which are necessary for the economy of the country.
