The Developed countries although they have modern technology with its advantages, also have some weaknesses which need to be overcome gradually in order to prevent second and third order effects. We know that technology is frequently dependency on cyber, and the problems is many people are able to influence cyber technology. The second most important is satellite technology, this is very influential for people living right now and also in the future. And no less important is individualistic culture for people who live in modern countries.

            Vulnerability of cyber has become the sexiest topic for all of countries around the world, especially for developed countries. Cyber technology can not be spread from human lives now and make people become dependent with that. Moreover, many national and private assets are controlled and established by government with cyber. However, some bad people try to abuse that condition for their own benefit and make other people become victims. And this is the worst thing, if bad people / organizations like terrorists sabotage the national assets with cyber and paralyze people’s activities, this is will interfere with national stabilization.       

     Dependence on satellite technology has made satellite position so important in human lives nowadays. For example, satellites are used in many military operations and have become an important asset for the military and also the nation. Because of that, satellite technology always has a tight security and still on developing program until now. Some developed countries, which are involved in the satellite race that is developing do not hesitate to utilize all means with purpose to win this prestigous race. Some experts think that if this condition is not sustainable, it will cause the third world war but in the space, or a space war.  Because, they think if they country can control the space, it means they will control the world. And also some bad people / organizations try to sabotage this satellite technology with cyberspace technology. If this condition happen, it will interrupt global stabilization.

            The last point, but no less important is about individualistic culture from people who live in modern countries. People in modern cities are mostly busy with their own activities to conduct school, work, get many for live and other individual activities. This condition often makes people careless with each others accidentally. On the other hand, sometimes people feel afraid that if they try to give concern to other people, it will disturb them. Because in many cases, people do not like if somebody interrupts their way of life. Beside this condition makes the-relationship between citizens less harmonious, this also can make each person feel uncomfortable. With pressure to meet necessities of life, also less concern and support from their environment, then it is not weird if many people commit suicide in modern countries.

            There are some potential problems which need more concern from government in developed countries. Cyber technology has rapid progress, but it has some vulnerabilities that need to be addressed and overcome immediately. Many live activities in modern countries are supported by satellite technology, both civilian and military depend on satellites which have some weeknesses in their operational. And also not less important is individualistic culture which gradually makes many problems around the citizen. Those are just a little bit weaknesses potential from developed countries, hopefully they will be able to overcome them soon, because the impact in modern countries also affected others countries around the world.
