In the article "Invasion of the Drone" by Patrick smith, the author talk a about a past experience with Mandy Lingard and droned. She continues on with this topic of drones in our current world by beginning to explain the risks and benefits they will have in our lives. Some of these risks include a variety or accidents the drones may encounter like getting stuck in plane engines or falling on someone. To defend this the author goes on to explain how accidents with these drones can be prevented with things like mandatory licenses to fly one. Last, the article explains how these drones have other used than just delivering pizza. She goes on to elaborate on how these drones can be used in warfare and people's perspectives on using the drones in this way.
The article goes over many of the dangers and improvements these drones may make in our lives. They come with many other things besides the fact of just receiving pizzeria quicker. The author let's the reader know that they can have a bigger purpose in our future, and that this is what seems to have many people worried about what these purposes may be. Her article seems to lean more toward the bad outcome of these drones if we allow them onto our everyday lives. She supports this by stating more of the problems they will cause than the little benefits they may have. She uses quotes by people worried on what these drones will be responsible of and includes a story on a bad experience with a drone. This makes me feel as though the author personally doesn't agree with the usage of drones in our lives.
After reading this article it really made me think about how much the world is changing. Not only that but also the problems and benefits these changes come with. Something like receiving pizza faster doesn't seem like such a big deal but the fact that these same machines could be used in warfare is quite surprising and really makes me think about what the future will consist of. It really makes me think about what will change and be replaced in the future. Reading this article I have learned that some new creations may seem perfect and impressive at first also come with a darker and more problematic side to them.
