I love optimists as much as the next guy, but seriously, Paparazzi drones are going to be a scourge here before you know it.


Wait until we get drones for water environments. I can see the follwing news flash scrolling along the bottom of the screen:

Captured! We surpise $celebrity doing #2 on their home bathroom. Visit bathroomcelebrities.com for more!


The book "Makers: The New Industrial Revolution" by Chris Anderson talks a fair bit about 3D Robotics, in addition to lots of other interesting topics.

One of my favorite books of the year.


Drones are going to change everything.


Are going?

It already did. What will change is how many of them we will have to live with. I, for one, have already welcomed our robot overlords.


It's going to be a very long way to make this legal. Regulations are very tight in the US and Europe. At least their job will be easier in Mexico.
