A drone is an unmanned aircraft that can be controlled remotely or can fly automatically through software embedded into the system. Amazon has recently been using Amazon Air, a form of delivery using drones. The CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos announced a few years ago that he wanted to use drones for fast deliveries. They also are used for military purposes when a situation is too dangerous for human flown aircraft  to enter. But, there has been some controversy over the potential safety hazards that come with them.

Drones can be very useful but really dangerous when they fly too low in the sky and come close to pedestrians. They also are known for interfering with aircrafts and causing pilots to worry. Since many of them are preprogrammed, they don’t change course when they need too. I feel that drones really are unsafe because when say an Amazon package is delivering to your house, it could hit a mailbox, house, or even a child. These drones are like flying robots and people want to allow them to just fly around in the air uncontrolled. That’s crazy! There are also no licenses yet for people who want to individually fly them and illegal drones are being flown all around the country.  Do you think drones should turn into the next delivery service?
