Drones

I've read books about robots and sci-fi, I've seen all the movies and I've always wondered what it would be like to live in a futuristic world. But now having the drones I'm not so sure I want to know. My opinion on drones is completely controversial.  On one hand I think they are one of the coolest things I've heard about in a long time. And the other hand I think there a terrible monstrous weapon. It all depends on how there being used. For instance, I would love to own a drone just for fun. There not all used just for assassinating. Some can fly three miles into the air and take pictures since there's an HD camera hooked into it. Imagine being able to see the world from a different perspective. They can also help people promote peoples jobs. One male real estate agent used his drone to take pictures of the mansions he was selling so they could see the house from all different views.  Having a drone for those types of situations I think is fine. But the way some use them, is repulsing. Drones are controlled  by XBOX 360 remote controls. So you don't need to be inside the drone to control it. The government uses this to their advantage. They take drones and attach missals to them. Then they pilot the drones to where they want and drop the missals. They use them to kill people who were thought to be terrorists, and sometimes innocent people die in the process. Being able to kill people from a far is disturbing. I don't think people can fully grasp the thought that they murdered someone because their not even there. It wouldn't feel real, but more like a video game.

This relates to Enders Game because they both have the futuristic feel to them. But also the battle games. In school they make the soldiers play these games where they shoot the other team to win. It's practice for the war with the buggers. There not actually killing people but their using a game in order to prepare them, sort of like the drones. Also Ender was always being watched. He never got to be alone and I fear that that's what's going to happen when drones get more and more modified. People are already creating drones in the form of a hummingbird. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like if a drone was outside my window and I didn't know if it was a real bird or not. I'm not going to lie the thought of robots being used to kill people is scary, but if their used for good and not bad, then I think their a pretty cool invention.
