Digital Snake Oil

This is a pretty interesting. Yoni of the College Basketball blog found that college coaches are starting to pay big money for a high-tech training device out of Israel. It’s basically a computer game designed to improve reflexes. The games were built on theories developed after some studies on Israeli fighter pilots in the 80s.
At first, I thought it was a pretty cool idea. Then, I thought, wait, aren’t these guys playing computer games 2-3 hours a day anyway? Yeah, it might have had some impact 20 years ago when everyone didn’t have Tempest and Space Invaders in their living rooms. In this XBox age, I think this is just a waste. Getting Mario onto the mushrooms isn’t going to help you defend a pick and roll.
