I'm not advocating the use of iphones and whatnot on a basic course but i have done terminal controls with a jet, in which the pilot was using an iphone for fire support calculations-apparently there is an app for that?
Secondly, some for clinical medic stuff, there are BOATLOADS of medical txts on electronic format, that you can bomb up your iphone with. I know its a step in a different directions and it's no substitute for using your brain but there are loads of useful tools on them for soldiers.
Do i think it will turn troops into social-networking, tech dependant pussies? Yes.
Do i think it serves a place on a basic course? No.
Will WoW help soldiers of today learn teamwork? hardly. If you want to build teamwork by banding troops against a common enemy, give them paintball guns or something a little less....... well.. gay.
Thoughts?
