GoodnNuff said:The August issue of Popular Science has a great article entitled "25 Reasons to Love Drones...and 5 Reason to Fear Them."
Very interesting, so many applications most of us hobbyists have never imagined. For instance it is predicted that by 2025 about 80% of the commercial drone market will be used in agriculture.
If the FAA rules favorably for commercial drone use, I doubt "80% of the market" will be in agriculture. The majority will be used in delivering goods to homes and businesses. Sure, you can do cheaper crop inspection and spraying with a UAV, but many companies are chompin' at the bit to use drones in delivering items to consumers and other businesses. The possibilities are endless, and it will transform our society.
Personally, I wish drone delivery was happening NOW. Nothing gets my blood pressure spiking more than knowing I have to run to Wal-Mart for some needed items and stand in those long lines while listening to chatty sales clerks waste OUR time because they're on the clock. :twisted:
