I do see good there, especially in a military context. The problems I see come from people using them otherwise. Call it the Dark Side, every technology has one.

Yep. And as some believe (even some computing geniuses), the computer/robot/drone artificial intellegence could end up being a real bad thing. Especially once you give the robot a 3D printer and it can replicate/modify itself!

Our President has been good at killing in the video mode. I wonder if this would make killing, and committed to killing easier.

The horrors of war, as witnessed by the guys on the ground, should be a deterrent to war—war as a last resort.

When the guys in Las Vegas can control swarms of drones over a country a world away, the killing happens without the horror. That is not good.

Plus, I would prefer not to have my speed clocked by a drone driven by some knucklehead civil servant. I don’t want the cops looking over the fence around my pool to watch my daughters in their swim suits.

Drones are coming and there is nothing we can do to stop their encroachment on our lives.
