Bio-Warriors and Implant Freaks

k-hell writes "There's a very interesting article on Anarchy Online's web site about a father's observations in watching his twelve year old daughter interact within the world of Anarchy Online. He tells that his daughter now knows, in very simple terms of course, what nanotechnology and implants are. He goes on and states: '..there is no denying that these games have certain integral qualities that very many so-called "educational games" lack.'"

    Perfect way to introduce young future drones to the Collective.

    I wonder if the father speaks Klingon?

    Damn straight video games can be educational. One of the most important lessons I learned as a kid: never try to cross that deep river in a wagon that is carrying your family and all your belongings.
