I know everyone thinks about the future. Has anyone read... Enders game? it's a story about how children are brought into the millitary and go to a school in space called Battle school. That's where they learn millitary stratagies and compete to go to another school in space. Ender is a boy about ten years old and he goes to Battle school as the youngest student. He has great potential is given an army of his own of students. The army's compete in war like situations in a controled room with no gravity with suits that freeze up when shot at with laser guns. Ender wins all his battles with his army and is transfered to the new battle school deep into space.
on Home; Earth, Enders family is dealing with the reality that aliens are attacking the world. However, the government is working to prevent the alien takeover. how are they stoping the Alians? By taking the children with high intelligence, and sending them to Battle School to refine their military talents; Then using them to fight the governments battles when the transfer to the higher school with real life people.
Ender later realizes that in the New battle school, he doesn't have an army, but he as a computer simulation. The computer simulation is basicaly a game. But Ender doesn't realize that the game is really the battle field with real people. He wins the battle over the Aliens, but at a large cost. every one of the Ships for Earth was destroyed. during the battle, Ender realizes that he is using human life; prays that god will be with them.

Why do i bring this up? I think that later in the future, children will have suprior knowledge and government will have almost all control on everything. Although i do believe there are aliens, we still do not have the technology to have space flight and travel though galaxyies. .. anyway... that's what i think...
