Computers can now analyze a player's kick, during practice, and predict where that bill will go (hopefully through the goal posts)

I think it is REALLY cool how they could do this. I wonder how long it took to make this, and what else in the world they could use it for. This would be really helpful with thing like predicting the future. This is really cool but I wonder what happens with the goalie(if there is one it depends on the sport.). They don't know how the goalie would move and it might be a perfect shot but the goalie just might get it and they might be wrong. Can they also tell if the goalie is going to save it even though they goalie isn't in a certain position?
It is really fascinating how they did this, because I would imagine there are hundreds of variables. For example, the softest of the dirt would affect the height of the ball when kicked because it sinks into the ground, the height of the grass would affect the speed of the ball because the kicker's shoe would slow down because of the grass. There are probably many more variables, which of course make a very minuscule difference, however if the computer were to calculate the "perfect" kick, they would have to take into account all of these variables. If you could use a computer to map a perfect kick, you could probably do the same for everything, like the perfect shot in basketball, the perfect swing in tennis according to your opponent's position. It would be really interesting.
These are very different variables and solutions to a prediction though what about when the air is changing mid time when the kick is being placed then the variables would screw over and if the grass was just on the floor and then after the wind would make it stand up. Though if this could dodge all those it could help though it could cause some cheating in sports. So that the player might have known it will fail so they have to do a different play then do that becuase of the person being told the way he will do it will not score the point. A very interesting idea and problematic one. It is fun overviewing these inventions and see what their faults are and how unique they are.
I think that this is a revolution of new technology. I wonder what else they could use this formula for to improve our economy? I think this is a game-changer when it comes to gambling or betting on something because you could predict which is the most likely outcome in anything at all. I bet it could be used for statistics and also voting.
