Learn English meaning of 'drones'

Date: Dec 05 2016

Intro

Let’s talk about drones. What is a drone? It’s a tiny plane that anyone can learn to use. Why are drones so popular? They’re fun to fly, they can take pictures, and they’re not very expensive.

But what are the dangers of drones? Right now there are not many restrictions on drones. You don’t need to make a flight plan before flying. Sometimes drones have collided with things when flying. They have also injured people. Should drones be banned?

The easiest word for me was “collide”, as I assosiated it with collider – the word I remember well from our Physics courses on custom essay writing online service.

After those classes, I know so many new words connected with technology and physics. But they don’t help me speak fluently now, cause they are very rarely used.

When we talk about drone we need to talk about privacy. think for a moment: What would be our state of mind when we are being watched incessantly?

So I think we need more restriction for drones, privacy is number ONE.

Drones, robots, cameras, AIIIII; If we ignore collision of drones then what is more important than it? I don’t mean that collision of planes and drones isn’t an important issue but what about privacy???

I agree with the restrictions on drones. How you feel when someone watching you on your yard or room? Yes, I know there’s a lot of thing that watching you nowadays but think about something that can fly and pursuit your activities.

Thanks to AI and Machine Learning (beside their harms – at least in future) we can handle privacy with their way. Programming self protectors; Think about some robot that always checks your privacy and will handle unwanted security breach. (We can’t avoid technology but we can secure it)

When I say privacy I mean everything privacy. Solving problems from planes airspace to the humanity rights.

Think about communication between planes and drones…
