Video Games; Is There A Conspiracy Afoot To Desensitize Robots Killing Humans

In the future of war, there will be much use of robotics in the battlespace and you can bet the US Military is on the leading edge of such technologies. Recently in an online think tank this subject came up. One think tanker point to a comment made by Ronald Reagan that the video games of the day were training kids to think fast, develop military strategy and use electronic devices of war.

Although some might have a problem with that morally, I have a comment; Governments Number One Job is to Protect the American People. If that means thinking ahead a few generations, so be it. Additionally the military sponsoring contests in robotics which has spurred a whole revolution in the field of robotics is a good thing, as it means Team USA has the best of all and that technology will ultimately be transferred into private enterprise and that is a good thing.

The amount of transfer technology has served our nation well and of course I can say that as the Internet we are working with to communicate was born of ARPAnet right? If today’s robotic contests in school, shows like robot war and the video games are preparing and entertaining at the same time, well it is good to know that our team will be prepared to defend the future potential eventuality. Consider all this in 2006.
