Satire On Drones

Have you heard of a flying robot? Sounds cool, but what if it invaded your privacy or affected your safety, perhaps even caused warfare, would you feel safe? According to author Patricia Smith, in her article “Invasion of the Drones”, she writes that drones are causing major concerns with their different capabilities. However, this may be so, but some may find drones to be useful working with. If you are in the privacy of your own home you would not want someone spying on you with a camera drone, just as one Australia resident was horrified after finding photos of herself from a drone, as Smith wrote in her article (Smith, 2015). Safety is the concern of most countries, there have been many situations surrounding the use of drones that were

UAVs have been operating longer than the public realizes by gathering military intelligence, surveying internal and externally to national borders, and monitoring telecommunications. Drones have been constructed to achieve an operational presence

Drones, a more recent topic of controversy are changing the views of the world, some suspect for the better while other believe for the worse. Until recently, drones have become increasingly popular and have influenced an increase in civilian use. Drones hold a substantial amount of benefits as they do negative. As drones become more popular, deeper regulations should be put in place. Protecting the society is the top priority. To do this, the government needs to regulate drone use for government officials, approve commercial businesses, and keep them out of most civilian hands.

Bill Gates once said, “Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people recognize, in positive ways to help society.” In this quotation, it can easily be seen that Bill Gates can foresee a better future for society as technology advances. The era of technological advances has impacted many industries to expand into the new market. Drones have become one of the most important technological advancements to change the world completely. A drone is a remote-less controlled unpiloted aircraft or missile. The impact goes beyond the traditional battlefield and changes the very concept of war itself. However, this advancement in technology has sprung a huge debate, ‘The Great Drone Debate.’ As technology improves, society

Drone use has changed the photography world for the better. They can capture extremely HD panoramas from high up in the sky. This makes it easier for journalists or even just photography lovers to acquire a photo. Instead of just a normal photograph, the drone can take an exceptional 360 degree shot with no human necessary. Houtryve mentions how drones have impacted the art of photography undoubtedly, “It seems clear that when the next chapter in the evolution of photography is written, drones will have a very

Drones are not the only way for people to invade our privacy. Hackers do that as well by hacking social media accounts, bank accounts, and etc... Hackers try to find out information that they

Today the use of drones has moved beyond military and recreational use and has emerged as a trending topic of conversation within both the private sector, commercial, and military realms (Bowden, 2013). Drone piloting has also become quite the topic of controversy due to military drone pilots taking non-traditional routes to achieve pilot certification. Military application has changed the landscape of foreign policy has augmented our military’s reach across the globe with the use of drones on the battlefield (Cole, 2014). As far as commercial uses drones are now augmented the way we deliver packages and cultivate vast amounts of farm (Senger, 2013). Even surveying of lands has changed with the adaptive technology drones utilize to map land features. The influx of drones in the public and private sector now has the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

Drones can cause severe disturbances to people, as they have sometimes are equipped with military weapons. “Many drones carry tasers, or even tranquilizers,” states theguardian.com author and ex-constitutional lawyer Glenn Grewald. Also, drones wreak havoc in large meetings, with many people. Benjamin Wittes, brookings.edu author, writes, “To what level of human-in-the-loop control is needed to ensure safety in a crowded air or land space.” It is often thought that drones do not cause harm, but some of the drones being used by the police now, are actually being employed by our U.S military in covert search-and-eliminate missions.

One makes a few clicks on their iPhone. In less than a half hour, they hear a loud noise above their backyard and go out to check. Sitting on their grass is a package. It was delivered by a drone. Meanwhile, a couple hundred miles away, another drone is above a mountain range searching for a pair of missing hikers. A few thousand miles away out at sea, a drone is hovering above an oil ring to inspect it. These three events are happening simultaneously as hundreds of other drones also move throughout the air. A drone is defined as "an unmanned aircraft that can fly autonomously—that is, without a human in control" (Villasenor). In recent years, there have been a rise in the number of drones in the United States. According to an estimate in 2010

In the United States, domestic drones are gaining popularity and have the potential to do many things, good or bad. The drones are publicly available for a very cheap cost and are capable installing software or devices that take live video streaming, video recording, have infrared cameras, heat sensors, GPS, sensors that detect movement, automated license plate readers, and, in the close future, facial recognition technology linked to the FBI’s biological database. These capabilities make drones either a very real threat or one of the best law enforcement technologies out

Technological advancement has improved the consumer drones and the services they provide. Scientific innovations such as GPS, autopilot systems, support software as well as the use of auto-stabilizing cameras have made the consumer life full of imagination. “These drones have the ability to fly at a programmed route while taking aerial photos and video recording even in the presence of bad weather conditions and greater heights that make it impossible for pilots (Corrigan)”. Which in itself is pretty incredible. “The aerial photography achieved is with greater accuracy, therefore, they could be used to make site surveys, monitoring crops, aerial 3-D mapping, military surveillance, world life protection, and search and rescue operations (Handwerk)” which make the consumer drone not just for the amatuar

Drones can be hard to produce and maneuver because one little fail can lead to a total disaster. But, that doesn't stop the purposes and the uses it could bring. The uses that it could have is transportation, military help, and environmental purposes. Drones are especially attractive to law enforcement because they cost a fraction of what helicopters or planes cosy to operate and they keep officers out of harm's way. To consumers, it’s cheap and easy-to-fly a quadcopter also known as “Camera Drones” are a popular and a fun way to shoot photos or video and play with technology.(Ellen 2016) To businesses, industries and entrepreneurs nationwide, drones represent a giant leap forward in efficiency, economy, and ability.(Ellen 2016) Drones are starting to be used everywhere. Including the United States, and Foreign countries. Then, in other places drones have been banned in national parks and from flying thirty feet near the Super Bowl. Our technology is growing as we are. Drones provide us with helpful information and helps us fight in wars. Drones can help our companies and businesses

And most of all, drones reduce the risk of human lives for the side operating them.

A lot of the discussions we've had in class have led me to believe that in a few years, drones will become a normal part of our society. It will no longer be odd or a special occasion to have an Amazon drone drop a package off at our front door. People won't flip out when a drone affixed with a camera might accidentally fly into their backyard. On the contrary to that, if a drone is legitimately being used to spy on someone, those type of cases will be a lot more common.

Drone technology is advancing rapidly and it is changing the way in which things are being done. Drones are widely used by many people as a hobby or for career purposes, as well as for military purposes by the United States. Drones provide the U.S military with many benefits, which helps the military to operate efficiently and in a safe manner. Businesses are utilizing this technology as well in order to make their companies run more efficiently, as well as to improve their customer service. Drone technology will positively impact our society; drastically change our culture and political system and definitely advance our economy as well as help enhance our environment.
