Title: amazon drones
Post by: APX808 on December 02, 2013, 07:36:30 AM
It seems Amazon plans to deliver items using drones, I believe in the next few years US people will change duck hunting for drone hunting.

lol! I've heard a couple people joke about that, but I wonder if it would be a serious problem.  It's not like these drones will likely be used in rural areas where a lot of hunting is done (as in people who can actually hit what they aim at ;) - as of last night's show the radius was 10 miles, and urban/apartment dwellers probably wouldn't get much use out of it since you need an actual unit.  You don't hear about Fedex or UPS trucks being highjacked very often.  Be interesting to see what will happen.

Between air rifles, microwave guns, home made jammers and old fashioned spark gap generators I predict "presents" will be falling from the skies in the first month.

Hopefully amazon uses extra cushioning  :)
