 Summary: Most of the U.S military's younger generation grew up playing video games that constantly tell players how well they're doing on the virtual battlefield. This type of technology can possibly become reality for soldiers. 



Soldiers in the U.S could go into battle wearing "google glasses". Google glasses can warn them of exhaustion level's by changing their vision's tint from green to yellow or red. The glasses could also warn them of other information needed on the battlefield.



 The amount of energy and pride put into climbing the rankings of 'Call of Duty' multi-player could be transformed into higher soldier performance. This idea remains decades away from being acted upon even if the U.S commander's decide to support it.




5. Reaction: My first reaction to this was,"wow"! Who thought playing video games could help train for military? There are a lot of people wanting to go into the military. Now they could just play video games like 'Call of Duty' to help them train in that field. This could also help U.S soldiers while on the battlefield. They can now know what kind of condition they're in during a battle. I think this is really cool.



6. World Impact: This could be amazing! The U.S will have a great advantage over other countries in a war. Soldiers could be more aware of the condition they're in while on the battlefield. Now nurses and doctors could get to wounded soldiers earlier through this device. 



This could be the beginning of new technology to help during wars. Other countries would also be attempting things like this to make their military stronger. I wonder what else would be coming out in the near future.
