Hundreds of planes flying commercially today could be vulnerable to having their onboard computers hacked and remotely taken over by someone using the plane's passenger Wi-Fi network, or even by someone on the ground, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.

This is an interesting piece of news because it exemplifies the increasingly technological nature of human relations. We are moving at a rapid pace towards a future with cyber wars and online diplomacy, and this is simply an example of this change.
