[Peace-discuss] From virtual video games to reality - The last generation of kids have grown up and turned reality into a virtual world.

This appeared in Reader Supported News.  I thought it might be of interest.  One has to wonder if this is the result of too much time spent on TV and video games where kids live in a virtual world where nothing is really real such that when they grow up they implement that unreal virtual world as a world of actual reality in which no one is actually interacting face-to-face with real living people or has contact with the concrete properties of the world in which they are living in.

Just sitting there on a couch, pushing a button and killing one CGI enemy after another. Forget the push-ups, a ready-made army of push-button pilots awaits a near-future filled with ultra-quick assassinations, all-too-easy bombing runs and the ominous and omnipresent patrolling of the skies."
