According to "Living under Drones" and the U.S. Department of Defense, a drone is an unmanned aerial …show more content…
The British Royal Navy constructed this radio-controlled drone and named it the "Queen-Bee." (Procon.org) The British used the drone as an information seeker during war and as an aerial target practice machine. (Procon.org) Drones can reach heights humans cannot. (Cobb) This is a huge advantage because of the possibilities that can exist from being able to check spots that are not easily accessible to providing new ways to use technology. For example, farmers may use a drone to capture images of their crop fields. One way the United States uses a drone is by spying on terrorist suspects in other parts of the world. (Living under Drones) Without having to use military personnel, the United States can track and kill any enemy in a certain radius with a drone. To be able to eliminate any type of threat the U.S. must send in an "armed drone." The United States primarily uses the MQ-1B Predator and the MQ-9 Reaper. (Living under Drones) Both of these drones have the capability of terminating a target by using "hellfire missiles." The blast that a hellfire missile …show more content…
People develop technology to carry out an easier life. (Cobb) According to Mayerowitz, the United States wants to regulate the usage of drones to prevent a crowded sky full of aerial aircrafts. In the future however, drone hobbyists will probably have more freedom to be able to carry out everyday life situations. (Drones: The Future of Information Technology) Most investors with intentions to use the drone for commercial use have backed off until there is some sort of government regulation with drones. (Mayerowitz) Few investors like Amazon have started trying to develop a drone that has the capabilities of flying packages for a faster shipping time. (Drones: The Future of Information Technology) The problem with flying packages is the risk of the drone short-circuiting mid-flight. (Drones: The Future of Information Technology) Depending on the package the drone would have to scale to be able to carry more than its own weight. Some people claim that Amazon's vision to deliver packages using drones is "far from reality." (Drones: The Future of Information Technology) Farmers too have a vision to better their lives with the use of the drone. (Mayerowitz) Since drones are very mobile they could be developed into a machine that could spray a farmer's crops. As technology advances, so do the jobs in America. If companies start adapting to the use of drones, we can see a growth in jobs in America. (Mayerowitz) Another way drone usage is
