Modern Day Training via Video Games

Filed in archive Learning , Videos by Matt on February 2, 2007




These days, people use video games for training in all kinds of situations ranging from racers, driver's ed, even pilots. We're no different at my house. When Cz was 2, I introduced him to video games. The first game he played was Unreal Tournament, in which he would play with his Uncle Jay. Uncle Jay would be sure to position himself in a manner so Cz could get an easy shot. Unfortunately, Mom didn't think the blood and gore was entirely a good thing to be exposing Cz to at such an early age, and I tend to agree with her. (I was just overjoyed at how quickly Cz took to the computer).

So I figured I'd move him to a racing simulator, Formula One 2002. I was truly shocked at what he did. Cz could barely talk, but he picked up right away how to use a joysticklinks. As you can see, he was able to steer the car very well, hitting the corner markers almost at will. (That's not an accident, he was aiming for them). I knew then that he would be a force to reckon with when he gets older.
