A relatively interesting topic as it bring up drones. I like drones, I think they are cool, seeing them fly around and do their business. But now there seems to be a new use for them and it's an idea from Amazon. Right now they are promoting their service, Amazon Prime Air, which is basically a Amazon Drone that delivers your order in about 30 minutes. I think that this is a very interesting idea and can't wait for it to actually take effect.
However, there are regulations that Amazon faces such as air traffic and safety. There are laws already in place about drones and that people need licences to fly drones. Other problems that came up include robbery of either the package after delivery or the drone itself. There is also a weight restriction and Amazon estimates that the drone can deliver items under 30 pounds.
All in all I think that this is a great idea and again, can't wait for it to take effect. Having things come to you in a matter of minutes is really a great thing and actually quite convenient for people the only problems that I can really see is the drone limit, as in how many of them will be limited to be flying in the sky. Not only can it be a hazard, but it can either be A. Somewhat noisy, depending on the drone, or B. distracting for some people. I mean, who wouldn't want to see a drone flying around a city delivering packages? Right now, it could easily be all the hype, but I can see it eventually being similar to seeing a UPS truck drive by.
