After watching our peers engage in the presentation of their technology projects, we were tasked with choosing one and researching it. My classmate Tony was able to excellently describe the concept of Drones and their uses, so much so I was able to write this post about it.
Abraham Karem created the first drone in 1937, and it was designed to be utilized for military target practice. They were soon after used for dangerous militant tasks, popular because it did not require the possible loss of a soldier's life. A prime example of this is the use of drones in the movie Top Gun: Maverick, where Tom Cruise is able to guide a missile to a bunker using a drone. The more modern day use of unmanned, robot-controlled drones has become extremely useful, for the operator can be thousands of miles away and still be able to deliver on target.
Nowadays, we also have camera drones that can be purchased by civilians. These are flying machines with cameras, in which allows you to take beautiful aerial photos from up to 200 feet off the ground. The use of this technology has greatly benefitted both the military and photography worlds, allowing for missile launching and picture taking all in one small package.
