It is generally believed that drones are used in the battlefield for the military, but there are new drones being used for many different things such as deliveries. A drone is an unmanned aircraft or ship that can navigate autonomously, without human control. Most people think that drones are pretty helpful and are cool, at first this seems to be true, but wonder how they would feel if they found out how drones watch you from above. Through media and the news, it has convinced the general population that drones are just used for surveillance, but that isn’t accurate, because drones are used for other things.
Let me begin with the fact that drones disturb the people in Colorado, like how it states in the article, “Colorado Town’s Vote on Drone Ordinance Postponed.” This explains how the people of Colorado don’t want Amazon drones delivering to them. One reason the people in the neighborhood of Colorado are against Amazon’s drone delivery is because they say in the article that it is a quiet neighborhood and they don’t want to get disturbed by the noises of the drones above. Another reason people in Colorado are highly angry about drone delivery is because they don’t want some drone coming up to them accidentally injuring them. In the article a man states, “if a drone is flying above me, I will shoot it down.” Lastly, it states how if people hunt down the drones for Amazon they will get hunted down by bounties. Those are some reasons that the people of Colorado want to postpone the drone delivery from Amazon.
Besides drones disturbing people, drones also can be used as weapons for the armed forces. One way the military is using drones for combat is that it states in the article, “U.S Army Developing Drone-Killing Laser Weapon,” it states that the Army has successfully made a drone able to shoot a laser down. Another way drones are used in the armed forces is how drones are the key weapon in fighting against terrorist, because they can use the drones aerial surveillance to identify terrorist. Lastly it states how they can attach high tech weapons to the drone so they are ready in the battle field. these are some ways drones are used in the armed forces.
Other from drones in the battlefield and drones disturbing people, there is actually people who want to purchase drones, as it says in the article, “Some Good Things Drones can (Actually) Do.” In the article it states all about the things that drones do that are actually helpful such as helping farmers with irrigation systems to see if there working properly, how their plants are growing. Another thing that drones just recently got programmed with, that can help people, is the ability to build and weave tensile structures. Lastly, drones can help fight crime, because they can use their surveillance to notice any related activity of crime. These are some things that drones can do that can actually do that are helpful.
These were some things that drones were able to do, like how they disturb people, are used in the armed forces, and things they are helpful at. Drones disturbed people like how it said in the article, “Colorado Town’s Vote on Drone Ordinance Postponed.” Also how the drones are able to be used as a dangerous weapon for the armed forces, like how it stated in the article, “U.S Army Developing Drone-Killing Laser Weapon.” Lastly drones were able to be used in helpful things like how it stated in the article, “Some Good Things Drones can (Actually) Do.” That is what forbidden knowledge is because the public doesn’t really know the truth about drones and what drones do.
