Apparently an executive in Homeland Security thinks ill of today's youth. Tell us: do you avoid math and science problems because they are too difficult? That's exactly what Jay Cohen believes when he said there is a crisis in this country he described as the "PlayStation generation" of students who want immediate gratification and avoid math and science because it's too hard. Guilty as charged. I hate math and science. Probably why I'm in the Terry College of Business. No chemistry needed. Yucky.Cohen is trying to get the funding to create new technology to better scan items at the airport, as well as something called project Chloe. This involves drone aircraft flying around airports with heat sensors to detect missiles and blow 'em up with lasers... or whatever. Tell us, Cohen, would you rather have an Air Force fellow who also plays a lot of Warhawk to help remotely control those drone planes, or someone who knows the molecular makeup of a lotus flower? Games are good for us. But like anything, there are those who have an unhealthy addiction to them. But for the most part, we believe gaming is a positive activity. How about you guys? Any stories where your prowess in gaming actually helped you out? Or are we really just the lazy "PlayStation Generation"?
