Drones and Cameras

So. Drones and cameras. what about them? Well, they're a really big invasion of privacy. Sure, there are benefits of drones and cameras, but what about when they are in a public space? Better yet, what if they're on our phones? When people use their phones, they raise their phones in front of them, and that makes it super easy to take a picture of someone without them knowing. You're looking at Instagram for all they know. First of all, it's super illegal to take a picture of them without permission, and second, it's just ethically wrong. And with that picture, you can do so many things to share that photo (which is also illegal). You can text it, show people in person, post it to countless social media sites, print it, etc. But what if we forgot about that kind of stuff. What if we focused on the government doing these sorts of things. Well, surprise! They already are. The government has total access to all of your computers, phones, cameras, watches, and smart home AI. The government has the right to access your webcams and phone cameras if they have a warrant that says so. They can even sell your information to companies like Apple, Samsung, Nike, Microsoft, Sony, and much more. And sure, they could keep on doing this, but they can also use it for keeping us safe. And they already do. Why do you think there are security cameras? They're for catching people committing crimes, right? but why are those cameras any different from your personal ones? Why wouldn't they be able to get access to those cameras to sell information? So even if you cover up your webcam with tape, sell your cameras, flip over your phone, they can still see you. I know it sounds creepy, but we are being watched 24/7 by store cameras, ATM's, traffic cameras, drones, things like Echo Show, and even doorbells. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I expect, that 50 years from now, we will have drones surveying parks, streets, police precincts, fire stations, etc. Amazon is already working on delivering packages using drones, and who knows what else drones will be used for. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but AI is creepy.

Drones. What do they do?

A Drone. It is an Unmanned aerial vehicle that is used for many different reasons. Flying for fun, taking videos from the sky, and bombing your enemies. Are they fast, sturdy, and good? Are they bad or good?

One kind of drone is the MQ Reaper. It is a death machine. It can be flow from the US to blow up citizens from other countries. It is a good thing for war but it also harms and can harm many innocent people. Do you think that is good? These drones are just a tool for the military so they do not have to do their dirty work.









This Drone is a DJI Phantom. It is great for taking videos and flying above for fun. It is very good for aerial photography. It can be used by every day people instead of the military. It can be used to make movies and films.






Before drones people had used balloon to go bomb countries but were not very successful because they had no control of the balloon .In 1959, the government was concerned of losing pilots in enemy territory. They started working on the idea of and unmanned aircraft. They started by using drones called UAVs to scout enemy territory. These UAVs saved many pilots' lives, but they might've taken lives of others.






Drones are great for so many things. I have a drone myself, and it can make so many cool videos. But do you really think that we should use them for war and for killing others? Anyways, there have been more than a million drones sold since 2015. They have contributed in making movies to seeing unknown worlds. Drones are a wonderful invention to bring to the world.
