Video games and more!

I was speaking to my son about this post over the weekend. He said he is sure playing games has helped his hand-eye coordination, which of course has helped him in his welding. :)

Another thing. We were watching a show on TV about military weapons. The commander said they have designed the control of their "remote control" weapons after the Xbox control. He said that the new guys joining can pick that control up and use it with almost no training- because thay are all gamers in that age range! Said the older men take weeks of training to be able to use it. The control can direct several different things in different locations at once. We were stunned.So if your kids have military in mind......

In fact another lady wrote me and said playing F16 helped her husband! He now flies REAL F16's! She said playing the game made it very easy for him to learn the real thing!! Hugs, Barbara
