Journal Entry #3

The Digital Nation video that we watched last week really got me to thinking, social media is a great new aspect to technology that can keep us connected no matter what, however what comes about technology now? The clip of the new army expirence center got me to thinking, and how healthy is it for kids 13 + to be active in a video game that is said to be a " expirence of the army" ? They can see war but they dont understand it like soldiers do, it gives the kids a false interpretation of what this means. What if kids get roped into enlisting by the glory they seem to see depicted in these video games. I dont really agree with that, although it is stated on their website that  these men were not recruiters it seems like the perfect oppurtnity for a soldier to influence a civilian.
