What's with the New Member Debate Club?

Weird.

 

I read an article about Japan recreating Hisroshima attack using VR to make users feel what actually would have happened. Its a great way to learn history indeed, I mean we only crammed and forgot it even sooner. But with something as impactful as VR, the students (audience) will surely learn and remember it for a long time. These are some practical uses and I do look forward to VR making a strong hold in education.

Doesn't seem like it's teaching history at all to me unless it explains the war in detail. The historical importance of the Hiroshima attack is not the visual and physical effects of the bomb. The actions, causes, responses of all parties to events and why it happened are important not an AV demonstration of destruction.

Maybe we just don't want to accept the change?

I'm sure re-creating Hiroshima bombing wasn't just for "visual and physical effects of the bombing". The visual and physical effects are just to amplify the experience for students who can now remember the consequences and implications. In long run this will impact their decision making (someone from these kids might someday become a public figure and help policy making even if not lets say its important for the generations ahead).
