Rise of the Drones – UAVs After 9/11

Peter Lemkin Wrote:Well, that is amazing engineering and micro-technology...but again, I fear what it will be used for. There are good uses of such micro-technology [medicine, rescue and scientific exploration in confined spaces, for examples] - and while they are being pursued as well, the military and intelligence use seems to be predominant. I'd like to see the military and intelligence use outlawed for any offensive actions or spying except as an absolute last measure in defense. I'm sure that won't happen. It seems humanity is doomed by its own technology - first to totalitarianism and then to extermination....unless we undergo a massive and 180 degree paradigm shift.

Totally agree. Ed has been posting John Robb's stuff here as of late. I have been spending time at JR's website and am on his tweet list. JR referenced two books: Daemon and Freedom[SUP]TM[/SUP] by Daniel Suarez. They are amazing, quick reads. You talk about a 180 paradigm shift: Suarez is writing about how that might look. I would recommend reading them ASAP. Here is a link to a Suarez talk on bot mediated reality that is, well ... just watch it.
