Will this catch on in the USA?

Where can I buy the video game? MMOG (massively multiplayer online game) is the future, either flying over a synthetic landscape or real time linked to drones flying over a real landscape. Virtual reality glasses provide wrap with around visuals will be widespread. The majority of players will want the ability to shoot down their opponents.

Ten years from now, every kid will have the equivalent of a CRAY super computer on his phone. Condor on steroids. Heck. Today's Condor is great and it runs fine on 10 year old hardware. A whole lot more is possible and it will come. Drones are going to change things.

We will always have a few folks that want to fly the old stuff in the physical world, the same as people enjoy flying 1-26s today. Winch launches will catch on with the younger generation as well... more exciting, more ecological and much cheaper. These are three factors that appeal to the young.
