Well since were on the topic of the future, lets talk about future warfare. I just attended class were the teacher talked about how people will be looking for skilled gamers to work for the military. She said that gamers could easily work drones (above), or unmanned planes. That would make sense, just because there’s a lot of controls and computing involved. She even explained that in the “future”, there wont be anymore sending out soldiers, but machines and, I guess, robots. Well, you’ve seen the movies, with robot wars and computer domination. I totally understand this strategy of letting technology fight for us. But of course there’s the disadvantage. Anything is possible with machines and robots now-a-days. You may think you’re in total control, but that’s not always the case. If robots were set to fight in war, then how long would a war last…50 years, 100years, or more? If you have the materials and equipment, why stop…who are you hurting? I’m mostly optimistic about everything, but you have to consider the consequences. The future seems so bright, but then again so scary.
