Amazon to Drone Delivering
Yes bring it on Jeff [Online retailer Amazon hopes to have mini drones delivering packages to customers in just 30 minutes, its chief executive has claimed. During a TV appearance in the United States, Jeff Bezos played a video showing the tiny robotic devices, known as octocopters, which pick up items in small yellow buckets and whiz them through the air. I know this looks like science fiction. It's not," Mr Bezos told CBS television's 60 Minutes show.] http://news.sky.com/story/1176325/am...one-deliveries Last edited by arista; 30-11-2015 at 01:38 PM. |

Aside from the fact that the novelty will wear off after the first time, there're so many problems with this:
- logistical problems (surely going to take years even after these 5 to iron out delivery problems) - vandalism (what if some wise-ass tries shooting them out of the sky?) - replacing human delivery = inevitable loss of jobs - the cost of it will probably be an increase on current delivery charges - being filmed and recorded by them to "make sure it's delivered" = unnecessary intrusion i just don't...why...why is this necessary
