The Amazing Amazon
Talk about special delivery; if Amazon can have its way the skies are going to littered with unmanned, programmed drones delivering packages to the customers that have “ants in their pants” that just can’t wait for normal delivery. The package can be delivered in less than an hour after the order is placed.
This is not a “drawing board” concept, Amazon has prototypes already doing test runs.
I think the technology is phenomenal and I admire Amazon’s ingenuity but what the heck is the hurry. Invention such as this are only making mankind a lot lazier than they is already.
In the old days at least a person got a little exercise when they had to get up and down to change the channel on the TV (pre-clicker day); now with all of the advancements out there the consumer does have to leave their home for anything creating even more out of shape, unhealthy couch potatoes.
Amazon is even looking into having groceries “air lifted” to people homes. No wonder society is getting fatter and lazier!
One of the biggest obstacles I see with this new way of delivering personal products is that the skies will be cluttered with drones and their HAS to be some mid-air collisions or drones landing on top of cars or on people’s heads. I think it too dangerous to implement.
There may be many more practical ways to use the “Amazon Air Force” like in crime prevention or delivering emergency products but for the use of the general public I think the delivery business will be a little too risky.
Before we know it Walmart and all of the other big boys are going to want to jump on the band wagon not wanting to get left out in the cold.
Pizza Hut; delivery 6 minutes after the order is placed. They may even install ovens in the drones so the pizza can be cooking while it is on its way to your home.
So to Jeff Bezos Amazon’s CEO; I admire your inventiveness but I don’t think your Air Force will never get off the ground for personal delivery service. Great idea though!!!
