Drones


Want to have a real nightmare?  Then view the video at the bottom of the following article describing trends in drone, mini-drone and micro-drone development by the U.S. Air-Force … and then try to sleep restfully tonight,  See: Daily Mail Article. Whether this animated scenario is five years off or twenty-five years off is not clear even from the National Geographic article (see: National Geographic Story) … but I’m certain that it will happen … given the pace of miniaturization of communication equipment, computers, video cameras and GPS systems … along with learning-curve extensions of our current drone robotics and battery technology.

I suppose that, when there are swarms of bumble-bee or cockroach-sized drones performing all kind of public and private mischief, there might well be counter measures … but I’m pretty certain it will not be Raid.
