Reading about the National Reconnaissance Office is interesting, given that until 1992, the public was not aware of its existence. Even though two decades have passed since it became declassified, I think majority of the public is still unaware of its existence. Due to its secretive nature, people who are aware of its existence do not know much about it or its mission unlike other governmental agencies. Reading this document allows one to know more about the once classified agency and its modern prerogatives. With information technology rapidly changing with the existence of the smartphones, increasingly digitalized technology and access to the internet becoming more abundant, satelittes and digital communication have exponentially transformed since 1992, let alone since the creation of the NRO in the 1960s. As such the NRO has had to continue to transform alongside the growth of the internet to stay up to date with modern information technology.
