Maybe we should be a little concerned at the speed of development and
product introduction of drone technology. It seems like this relatively
cheap product that looks like a toy but is not, is really changing our
world.
MIT creates a drone that floats on water
Researchers
at MIT, realizing this change and the fact that we will need to
interact with drones as part of tomorrow’s society have developed a
drone that floats on water. It is capable of being fitted with a variety
of sensors including air and water quality. Each drone communicates
with other drones to form a swarm ( scary word, lets go with flock) that
can also communicate with the cloud for data upload and instructions.

There
are so many good applications that are possible with these devices that
it is likely that we may miss the dangers that are inherent in such a
cheap and accessible technology.

Take a look and see whether you see a bright future full of drone helpers or a bad science fiction movie.
