I think WWII came out with a lot of technologies like nuclear power, jet engines, tanks, other vehicles, and even new medicine and ways to practice it. Are world is completely different because of wars. An example would be radiomen who were just for wars and then became for cars and now are small portable cell phones. Wars get countries advanced for fighting. However once the war is over a lot of things can turn into great uses for the public. Another example would be jets. Invented in Germany and used for war but now they have commercial airplanes that take thousands of people around the world everyday.
