Warfare needs myths particularly for internal integration and motivational propaganda. Unit cohesion and the 'moral' of the soldiers is still the major asset of any military confrontation and workforce.
All technological structures and man/machine interactions have inherently emergent propaganda effects. Socio-tech interaction is more than the sum of its parts. Non-linear dynamic systems that have an attractor have emerging properties. Synergetic properties cannot be found by studying its parts only.
Behind machines there is a technology of know-how, a way of looking at the world and coping with it and an integrated definition for information modeling. Cybercrats always emphasize the efficiency of technologies and veil the potential social effects. Mass consumption requires identical ways of life and a technical workforce breeds conformity. Adjustment to normality is the aim. Psychological warfare attacks the mind to reach the will and is always personally addressed to me, myself. Desire is the control mechanism of the economy of imagination, Mac Believe the biggest industry on the planet.
