Technology and Cold War

I'd have to say that the History Channel is one of the best resources on television becuase it encourages people to think about things and look into them further then just watching the show. So I was once again watching the History channel and they was a show on about weapons and things during the Cold War. It had such a profound influence on todays history not only becuase of the events that happened but also the technology that resulted from all the developments that were made throughout the period. I just wanted to possibly spark some discussion about technological developments during the 20th century particularly some of the ones that resulted from the research and development that occured during the Cold War period.
