itsheresomewhere Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25180906 It did make me laugh, then I shook my head. Nuff said. Oh please make the drone quiet. My dog can hear UPS 2 blocks away and has to start the alert bark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Maybe my packages will no longer get stuck 2 hours from my house for 2 weeks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I saw a political cartoon in which Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon) offered to trade Obama a working healthcare web site in exchange for some drones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well, given that every vehicle possible - including my own impractical convertible AND the USPS truck - have made it through every day of our "snowstorm", but my UPS package has been delayed FIVE FREAKING DAYS even after being marked as on the local truck, I say bring on the drones!

AmyontheFarm Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 But, but, drones don't wear cute uniforms....... :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 ...and imagine trying to communicate with the drone if the package has the wrong address on it? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'll feel like Judy Jetson if a drone ever delivers anything to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 The drones are a few years off (due to FAA regs, not technical ability)...... and are likely to have a premium surcharge associated with the quick delivery....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 and many states or townships or cites have made them illegal. Not only would the FAA have to change their regs but so would those places as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Okay, here is a story where they put tablets in African villages. The kids learned to read *and* hacked the computer within 5 months. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/01/kids_learn_hacking_android/ How long do you think it would take a technophile child to capture and hack one of these drones?

bethben Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 There's going to be a lot of people with a new sport. I imagine a lot of boys trying to figure out how to get those things down. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 so, if I order a drone, does it get delivered by another drone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHomeschoolDad Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Skeet shooting with prizes, or aerial pinatas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I saw a political cartoon in which Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon) offered to trade Obama a working healthcare web site in exchange for some drones.
