Hiding From Drones

WITHIN A FEW YEARS the skies over America will be filled with drones, going about our business for us, robotically. Has Amazon dot com made their first drone delivery yet? How on earth will it, does it work? UFO descends from the sky, hovers in front of front door, attracts attention of recipient within, who opens the front door, then opens a compartment in the drone and removes the newest science fiction novel? Or does the drone use a mechanical arm to reach out and hand the merchandise to the customer? And here's a question for ya: what happens when the damned things start crashing through roofs, and into people's living rooms? What happens when somebody walking down the street gets slaughtered by one? You know its going to happen. All technology has accidents. I honest to goodness think that if ever some flying robot comes down out of the sky and tries to communicate with me, I'll drop dead of a heart attack. Fright, actually. Am I just dreaming all this? God, I hope so. A list of how drones will be used is mind boggling. Agricultural work, infrastructure monitoring and repair, surveillance, and many others. All this within the next five years, because the technology is already here. We are going to have all this futuristic technology, whether we want it or not. It is ot be hoped that it shan't be owned and controlled by a very few super wealthy super powerful elite. That's the last thing we want. What we want, fellow humans, is economic and political and social equality. Its worth working for, an idea worth keeping alive, and bringing to life, whenever and wherever possible. Unless technology provides a better life for all, it isn't worth having. To have a sustainable future, we'll have to change, and now is the perfect time for change, at the start of a new year. Meanwhile, I'll have to make sure I never buy anything vrom Amazon dot com. I sure as hell don't want some flying robot to attack me.
