Summary:The article focuses on the concept of revolution as distinguishable from evolution in the adaptation of technology in Anglo‐American intelligence communities. It mentions the idea of a revolution has been limited to a tangent of the broader strategic debate that emerged in the early 1990s on Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). It also mentions that in Great Britain, scientific and technical intelligence had its own committee from the end of World War II, along with the information on cyber crime that has its own burgeoning literature in the fields of policing and criminology.
