But they will be able to genetically eradicate all diseases, wow!

Michael Horton described how in the near future there will be thousands of drones in our skies delivering packages to our doors, but they could easily be carrying a bomb, or a bullet, and terrorists and foreign governments could use them to assassinate people. Just think how the CIA would have employed them against Castro if they could have? And I'm sure the Israelis would have made good use of them as they are said to have assassinated the most people. Even criminals might use them, well, the Russian mafia keep murdering each other.
But there will be lots of anti-drone technology, so a new industry to keep people employed in the age of robots, until we get robots that can repair themselves and design new robots, that is. Perhaps Nirvana is a better future than The Brave New World? Kevin Vincent.
The failed assassination of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is a game changer.
The August 4th attack was the first known attempt to assassinate a head of state with a drone. It will not be the last. There will be more of these kinds of attacks, and some of them may hit their mark.
Small off-the-shelf drones can now be seen flying around many cities and parks. Some belong to enthusiasts which run the gamut from children with a new toy to men and women who spend thousands of dollars on fast and nimble technology. Others, some of which are very similar to the drones used to target Maduro, are operated by local police, fire departments, and other emergency response services as well as many commercial enterprises. And soon, there will be drones delivering packages, fast food, and even medicines. In a few years drones may well be ubiquitous in the skies above major cities where they will carry out a multiplicity of tasks. Far more than now, they will go unnoticed by the public.
As these flying machines become a part of our everyday lives they will also become more of a threat. With what is likely to be hundreds if not thousands of drones in the skies above major cities, the opportunities for terrorists and militants to make use of them will only increase.
