Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or report discussing the history of cyber warfare, computing, and the concept of 'Time Superiority' in conflict. It contrasts traditional military power with networked power, citing the Syrian Electronic Army, and narrates the emergence of Robert Tappan Morris's computing device in 1988 as a rival to Danny Hillis's Connection Machine. The page bears a House Oversight Bates stamp, suggesting it was part of a congressional investigation.
