Technology has officially taken over our lives in the last couple of decades. Technology is used in our everyday lives and recently technology has been incorporated into new circumstances that we never thought possible. Throughout the last of the documentary Digital Nation the director shows how technology has been adapted to be used for warfare. The thing that I found the most interesting however was that there is a new treatment for PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) that incorporates technology. Doctors have been testing the reactions of Patients with PTSD to virtual reality. Hoping for it to be a healthy and proficient way to deal with the disorder. In addition to trying to cure patients using virtual reality the military has incorporated alike features into real battle situations. The newest and best technology in the military are drones. Unmanned aircraft that can destroy a target while the pilot sits safely miles and miles away. Drones incorporate modern day technology into the use of million dollar machines practically using video game controllers to control real life jets with serious fire power. 

In my personal opinion i think the incorporation of technology in the military is a fantastic idea. For the treatment for PTSD i think that it is a very good way to attempt to solve the problem in lots of veterans lives. The virtual reality can put them back in the same position they were in war without any danger to try and treat their disorder. Also for the drones i feel that they are a great addition to the United States military. We can successfully perform bombing strikes without endangering any pilots and without the price of human lives. However, of course there are also downsides of all these technological advancements. For example people propose that the use of drones is inhumane because there sometimes are civilian casualties without recognition. The drones cannot simply tell the difference between and hostile and a civilian and instead fire anyways.
