I could see some cool military applications for this too.
Now you can see your friends dying in the next room, instead of just hearing it!
Or if it’s only a map, now you can see how surrounded your unit is!
This is valuable tactical data, surely it won’t cause any morale issues.
It’s true. All new inventions have a morality issue to them. And those moralities need to be weighed heavily before implementing them.
But it can also be used to guide a secluded operative back to his troop. It can be used to detect road mines that otherwise would have exploded.
New technology is just a tool. It’s the people choosing how to use it that makes it moral/immoral.
You're not wrong, but the prior comment references "morale issues" which is different from "moral issues" or morality in general. The former is about the troops feeling of well-being and optimism (morale) and the latter is about ethics and right vs wrong (morality).
Heh my bad. Thanks
