2014 trend: drones, Internet of tomorrow!


First, drones are cool. Very cool.
And thanks to brands like Parrot, it's fully democratized.
You put a camera on it and you can shoot awesome films, you can control it with your phone or a remonte controller.
Fine.

Drones are also a good PA:
Countries use it to kill supposedly dangerous people (or people celebrating a wedding) .
It become more interesting. Indeed, the machine will do something that a human should have done before.
BUT the human is still acting, behind his computer screen, like in a video game, he controls the drone with a joystick. His personal assistant, M. drone, just obeys

But here is the coolest part of the article: drones are the new Internet.
Andreas Raptopoulos and his colleagues at Matternet are attempting to create a network of drones that operate like the internet, only for tangible objects.
"The beauty of unmanned autonomous vehicles is [that there’s] no physical infrastructure. UAVs fly wherever there is air." and it's big!
Imagine a world where drones automatically deliver good everywhere.
No need for cargos, trains, trucks and humans to pilot it.
No need for roads, rails, harbor and humans to handle it.
Drones will deliver door to door or to collection points in a fully automated way.
The sky will be full of drones carrying light or heavy things.
Isn't is cool ?
