I always said, that the real reason God invented computer computers, was to play video games. And I stand by that assertion. At least in my world, that’s the way things work, and maybe it does in yours as well. Computer games have really moved mainstream a few years ago. Have you ever seen how surgeons work these days. The more intense surgical procedures are practically like computer games these days. Doctors watch video screens, as they manipulate tiny robotic devices to do work that used to be done by the hand of a surgeon only a few years ago. How about the industry of design and construction. All those simulated virtual computer programs, that allow them to visually move walls, furniture and floors around a home look like a level designer for Unreal Tournament or Quake to me. At least, I’m pretty sure that’s were they came from. And the list of simulators used for strategic decision making is really pretty endless these days. Military commanders use it, project managers use it, and even farmers use it. It really is true I think, that sometimes the world is just one big computer game. I love it.
