It has become clear in recent years that gaming as a whole has influenced the military. It would seem that the miliatry’s latest idea taken from the gaming world may have gone a bit to far as they have taken the game controller and started to impliment it into war.
Are there any real benifits to using this kind of technology? The military have no need to now be sitting on a mounted position to control things which makes it a lot easier. With the pad they can walk around and control things in a similar way that you can control an RC Helicopter. Does anyone remember that crazy film that starred Robin Williams as a toy maker who has to try and stop his uncle from taking over the world by using remote controlled tanks and planes.
Are guns going to become a thing of the past, is it possible that the army could just sit back and use this pad to control their tanks from a far away place and not worry about losing any men? Of course not, the whole reason the army is a success is because of the skills, wits and training that all of these men and women have been given. This remote control technology is just another option open to many armies in battle and can be used to take a closer look at the enemy position without risking the lives of many men.
It is wondered how many deutsch connectors and cable ties are actually needed to develop this brilliant technology. Is it really fair to put all of this guilt onto the game pad creators? The main thing is that all of this was not made to be used by the army so perhaps it is best left in the hands of a gamer and out of the military’s reach. Let us just hope that they used hellermann tyton to make sure everything is secure enough to work.
