Drones likely to become even more commonplace

| 21 Dec 2024 | 01:22

    Lots of businesses use drones. Realtors, for example, often hire a drone contractor to take aerial views of the property. That way, a customer in the Realtor’s office can see a bird’s-eye view of what the property looks like. Even views of inside a home. Kitchen and all the rooms too.

    Then, of course, are the young hobby enthusiasts just having fun flying them.

    In summary, my point is that drones will become even more commonplace in a very short time.

    I know Amazon has been testing drones for package delivery.

    Maybe in the future, your mailman’s huge truck would be loaded with drones for mail deliveries in those very rural areas. So he would park the truck in the middle of ranches/farmlands, open his huge mail truck, and 20 drones will take off to deliver the mail to all those ranchers and farmers.

    All the mailman needs to do is wait for the drones to all fly back home and self-park inside the charging docks.

    With AI (artificial intelligence) expanding, who know what’s next?

    Sounds way out, but who could have imagined a smart watch with a movie screen on your wrist 40 years ago? Or a TV hanging on a wall?
