They say that these skills really come in useful for those in the Service who fly the Pilot-less planes like the Predator being used overseas. Maybe there's something to it. I know I don't have the skills. lmao

Just gimme a PlayStation controller, some pizza rolls and keep the Mt. Dew Code Red comin' and I'll end the Iraq/Afghanistan War MYSELF!

I like a guy with a good plan. I'll send the Code Red. lol

That's just it. These new gamers have a talent for using the equipment that is now being developed. Both by the military and industry. They may very well be the soldiers and industry workers of the future using robots and machines to do the work. It's fascinating, really.

Yup that's eutopia people dream of. To much greed in the world for that though :(

There is a man who believes in what your saying. He calls it the "venus project" interesting theory about how we "should" be using out technology.

Oh I'm not saying that technology is all a good thing. We are losing our ability to write, to add and subtract, divide and multiply and many other things we use to do by using our brains. We don't have to anymore. We have something to do it for us. Technology is good. But we must still train and use our brains. But human nature is to take the easy way. We don't have to do the basics because we have something to do it for us. So we lose skills. Not a good thing. BUT, I sure do love my modern tech stuff and gadgets. lol

Go play a few rounds of just about any game on XB Live! and ask yourself this question. Try not to die laughing.
