This paper examines the Post-Industrial Revolution as exemplified by the impact of the digital culture in an increasing number of aspect of modern society. In particular, various institutions, such as the legal community and its processes and the military serve as a practical example with which both liberal artists and scientists might identify. In particular, the tension between the ability of digital technology to define and re-define the modern world and the fundamental vulnerabilities of the digital world are discussed at length. It includes the potential effects on societal values that may result and are likely to continue while avoiding the deep jargon of both the law and technology.
