Drones to cause huge unpeaval in society

Peter Lemkin Wrote:While walking my dog yesterday, I came across a man flying a six-propeller drone. I watched for some 20 minutes until he landed it. It flew very fast in any direction his two joysticks dictated. It had a positionable webcam he could view on his hand-held controller [or could transmit via wifi anywhere else]. It had a range of about a Km [.65 mile] and could lift a rather hefty load. Its battery pack alone was heavy and huge! I looked at a local large computer store and they were selling a similar one for about $400. I can only imagine what a few thousand dollars can buy these days....and what capabilities they might have. Brave New World or Hellish Electronic Nightmare?:Read:

Like all things, it's a double edged sword that can be used to heal or to hack.

But we know what it most likely will be used for don't we.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
