Many of today's most popular video games take place in dangerous post apocalyptic 00:00:04.740,00:00:08.850 landscapes. But are these games really enough, to prepare our kids, 00:00:09.280,00:00:12.380 for the actual post apocalyptic future we will all soon face? 00:00:12.780,00:00:14.950 - I think that they are. Studies have shown that these games, 00:00:15.390,00:00:18.530 are quite effective ar teaching our kids skills that they'll need after the apocalypse. 00:00:18.920,00:00:22.090 Like finding shotgun ammo, and leading elite squads of super soldiers. 00:00:22.760,00:00:25.860 - But these aren't the advanced skills that they're going to need. - That is advanced. 00:00:26.270,00:00:30.610 - They're going to need the more practical skills like how to build a shelter from abandoned cars, 00:00:31.010,00:00:34.610 or how to find drinking water by collecting the morning dew in human skulls. 00:00:35.040,00:00:38.410 - Yes, or how to deal with depression when the sun is blocked out for 500 years 00:00:38.620,00:00:41.520 by a cloud of radioactive dust. - Absolutely, now that's the type of knowledge 00:00:41.720,00:00:45.120 these kids are going to need when their world has been turned into a brutal hells gate. 00:00:45.320,00:00:48.690 - But these games don't have to be an accurate depiction of a post apocalyptic world, 00:00:48.900,00:00:52.270 they just need to teach the basic concepts, which they do. 00:00:52.700,00:00:57.010 72% of kids said that they know how to find items to barter at weapons shops, 00:00:57.670,00:01:01.040 and how to use medicine packs to heal zombie bites, with these video games. 00:01:01.510,00:01:04.680 - That's excellent. You know, the game Fall Out 3 has taught my son Charlie, 00:01:04.880,00:01:08.220 that it's easier to kill cyborgs with a grenade then a machine gun. 00:01:08.690,00:01:11.830 - The games make it all seem deceptively simple. I mean, in the future, 00:01:12.490,00:01:15.860 a kid's not going to be able to kill, a 6 foot long irradiated beetle, 00:01:16.300,00:01:19.470 just by pressing a few buttons. And he's going to have to get down there with an axe, 00:01:19.670,00:01:24.280 and hack and hack and hack. - David our , kids are going to have the rest of their ilives 00:01:24.470,00:01:27.610 to get actual experience in how to desperately fight for survival. 00:01:28.050,00:01:31.650 - Exactly. What's important is that we teach our children the fundamentals now, 00:01:32.080,00:01:35.920 so that they can be successful in whatever nightmare scenario that they may find 00:01:36.120,00:01:37.560 themselves in. - Well, if they survive that long. 00:01:38.020,00:01:42.060 - Another flaw with these games, is that most kids, will become mutants themselves, 00:01:42.500,00:01:44.900 once the apocalypse hits. - It's a huge problem. 00:01:45.370,00:01:47.070 - I think that it's a chance that we're going to have to take. 00:01:47.700,00:01:52.540 Playing video games, all day, alone and friendless, is simply the best way 00:01:52.740,00:01:57.280 that we have to prepare our children for a life of solitude in a bare wasteland. 00:02:00.290,00:02:03.630 "Jewish scientists discover new way to disappoint parents"
