I have always slightly been interested
in what goes on in military training. I never would have though that gaming
would become more than just an influence to war. Now it is apart of the
training. This concept is kind of mind blowing in a way. With the technology
that we have today it is amazing to me that they can develop something that has
to do with corresponding gaming technology in a way of a mock of what it is
like working in the military.
As
much as I think it is cool there is a lot of downsides to this type of training
in my opinion. If you think of it just like in the presentation, they discussed
that the backdrops of where they are might portray a stereotypical form of war.
This could be about the biased opinion of certain groups of people and stereotyping
them as an enemy of war. This kind of brain washes the mind to see certain
people as bad even when they are not.
The
military have been using technology for a long time. They correspond with each
other. Just the thought of how far the military has come with technology in
relationship to war is amazing. With the types of warfare as well as what there
is to get people ready for a war has changed a lot. This day in age the rapid
growth of technology will not end soon and I am curious to see what comes next
after the practice of using gaming to work with training.
What
was most interesting to me that I have never thought of was when the group
brought up the drones and their controllers. The fact that the controllers were
similar to what gaming consoles use makes it easier for some men and women to
learn because of their practice already probably sitting in their living rooms.
This also makes it easier for them to not think about what the drones actually
do because they relate it to a fake world.
