Drones

     Drones are a controversial topic, but a great invention that was made to advance society to the future.  Abraham Karem was born in 1937 and is the creator of the first drone.  Drones didn't start with an invasion of privacy, and they didn't go to the public until more recently.  They started as a design for target practice.  Drone stands for No People on the mechanism.  Radio control drones were designed so people didn't have to risk their lives in dangerous areas.  Drones could scout an area out or even go after a target without risking human lives.  This was a huge innovation for people because they could be protected, while still advancing military needs.  Drones weren't trusted for many years because they feared the design would not be reliable.  While this is true, drones weren't revolutionized until 2001.  In 2001 the first armed UAV was used to carry anti-tank missiles into Afghanistan.  In 2002 the first drone strike happened in Yemen, against al Qaeda.  drone warfare  Drone warfare was a major step transitioning to the future.

      Drones came with many risks.  People worry about drones because the government can use them to spy on citizens.  Drones are known to enter unauthorized areas which can also lead to leaking government information.  Civilians could be at risk during drone warfare, but they could sneak up on opponents like they have never done before.  Drones can be thousands of miles away from a target and strike causing the technology to not be put at risk.  Drones cost a high amount of revenue to make, being 1000 miles away from the strike keeps the drone technology safe.  When drones were first made, the government didn't implement them directly into the military.  Another risk of drones today is privacy, drones can fly anywhere so people don't feel protected.  Drones can be used to spy on anywhere because the average person can purchase a drone for a reasonable price at your local Target.  I believe giving people access to drones can be beneficial for their Careers.  Drones can take videos from all types of different angles and distances.  Youtubers use them mainly and people love to see how many perspectives a video can be recorded from.  YouTube used to be a simple platform, but people are expecting more and more from content creators.  When kids see their favorite creators using drones then they want to purchase the drone as well.  Then every kid has a drone flying around in other people's business.  The benefits of a drone are the high-resolution photos.  People are drawn to better quality of items and that's why drones are successful.  With the world advancing the people want to have the latest technology like apple.  Everyone I know personally has an iPhone.  It is usually peoples' first choice due to the fact they want to have the item everyone has.  People loved go-pro cameras, but they don't have the technological advancements of a drone.  The main reason drones have become popular is due to trends and the military.  Once one person purchased the drone it created a whole following of drone users that America has today.
