Note to self: Get smaller shotgun loads. Sand-size.
We’re all going to need rf blocking devices in our homes and properties to thwart this.
Now, here’s a useful way for me to get the shark...
This sort of thing has been appearing in science fiction novels for quite a while.
Also appearing in science fiction is digital money which cannot be traced, cannot be taxed.
At some point, these things (in fiction, anyway) tend to build a world in which the concept of government has no place at all.
Just one example: “The Diamond Age” by Neil Stephenson. Nanotechnology, post-scarcity economy, no real cash, the concept of government replaced by Distributed Republics which are not based on territory but are more like club memberships with mutual support agreements for people who are “citizens” of the club.
Interesting world coming our way — and I’m not sure people like Reid, Pelosi or Obama will have any role to play at all.
It won’t just be the government playing with drones.
Ordinary people will have drones.... just consider the possibilities.
Today we have anonymity on the internet...tomorrow we will have anonymity in the real world!
Even if a drone is intercepted and examined...who made it? who was operating it? What data did it send back to them? Has it been used before and we just didn’t detect it???
In very small letters.
While I’m not surprised technology is getting us to the point of this being possible, the first image is a fake. It was created on Deviant Art as part of a contest about five years ago. It has been all over the internet with various captions for different stories.
Some swamp gas sniffers think a UFO must be between 2 miles wide and 8 feet wide....When I guess it would be possible for alien spacecraft to be the size of a grain of sand, capable of holding thousands of aliens which could be setting up bases under the patio table.
Hmmm. This could be a useful tool for us. Let’s see, what do we want to know or get a photo of?
Curious how these are controlled - I assume by radio.
Wonder if a simple spark generator could spew out enough wide band rf interference to render them control-less.
Think I’ll cover my entire metal roof with magnetic paint in anticipation of drone fly-bys.
Then I’ll just have to go up there once a month to scrape them off.
Not sure about those STINK BUGS. Does anyone ever remember such a huge infestation of these critters in the past? It’s not as if they’re 14-yr locusts.
Oh, and about those locusts;)
Who needs billions of dollars worth of weaponry if you can have these?
Conversely, I am sure that there will be a low-tech means devised to defeat these flying robots.
