I am an early adopter when it comes to most technologies. I think we have some fantastic gadgets and toys – both at work and at play.
Last week there was an amusing video posted by Amazon – showing a quadrocoptor delivering a small amazon parcel.
The announcement suggested that in the future we will be able to get these deliveries within an hour of ordering!
I have a feeling that our imaginations may have got a little carried away here. How long will it be before someone has their eye taken out by these drones. I think the CAA might have something to say too as our lower level airways became congested! If Amazon do this then why not Sainsburys too with your bottle of wine you need?
Nice thought though – just not ever so practical!

geeky (but sensible) analysis that backs up your closing comment…. but I do agree with the author I welcome it…. with the right safety precautions, I hear the FAA are on the hook to provide something around this very soon!
Perhaps they will be like 3G Licences with Amazon, The Post Office (remember them?) and others bidding for airspace!
… or the NHS (replacement organ transfer)?
Now there’s a thought ….
