We won't have to buy Clay Pigeons anymore. There will be plenty to shoot at. Can you imagine how many of these things there will be flying around any populated area? Takes Fallout to a whole new meaning.

Not if you have "Amazon Prime"
Amazon Prime is a deal in which ones pays a certain amount of money to join. I think it's about $100. My wife joined last year.
What you get for that money is fast "free" shipping and "free" movies and TV shows on Amazon's equivalent to Netflicks.
It's actually not a bad deal if you do shop a lot on Amazon (which we do) and like to watch things on the TV (I'm not a big TV watcher, but I am watching "Fringe" on Amazon Prime...all five seasons.
Anyway, maybe I'll get a "free" drone out of this...
... It does seem inane in many situations to pay a driver $25 an hour plus fringe benefits to drive a 3 ton truck just to deliver a 5 pound parcel. Another part of the program I found interesting was where Bezos explained the reasoning for his minimal profit margin.
I'm envisioning the sky turning black they are so thick, like being invaded by aliens.....that will give the electric windmill haters something new to complain about.
Yup, sounds about right. I like the Birds comment also. The difference is, the Birds pecked you, these things could give you a real close shave!I'm envisioning the sky turning black they are so thick, like being invaded by aliens.....that will give the electric windmill haters something new to complain about
One, those motors and blades are weak enough not to maim and can be stopped with a hand.
Two, shrouds can always be, and prolly will be, added before full scale use. Shrouds also help lift and efficiency.
