 Drones, presented by Blake

The first drone was actually a hot air balloon flown in 1783 by Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier. Later in 1849 Franz Von Uchatius was influenced to invent the balloon bomb.And Nikola Tesla was the first men to demonstrate a radio controlled craft in 1898.

When the great war started they found drones to be extremely handy. The first UAV torpedo was invented and could carry 180 pounds of explosive.

Today drones can be controlled by a smartphone. They were military drones all over the world and here in the US we take a vantage of them. The FAA permitted UAVs to fly in civilian air space during Hurricane Katrina. Demonstrating how handy they are.

Impact: There are many different uses for drones. During Covid we could even see how they came in handy with delivering medication for food to homes for zero contact. Commercial drones are purchased every day for recreational use.

  Ted Talks The government can see if you go to church or travel to the same stores everyday, and you are analyzed on this data and activity without even interacting with them. “Although much tougher to observe, the same thing is happening with surveillance equipment . NSA - style mass surveillance is enabling local police departments to gather vast quantities of sensitive information about each and everyone of us in a way that was never previously possible”.

 Age Of AI For the AI to work as best as possible, it needs a lot of data and it looks like data from everyone. China currently uses many forms of AI to Servall the public. Especially since within the next 15 years AI and robots are predicted to threaten 50% of jobs in the next 15 years. Increases productivity for large companies but leaves the workers jobless. Even today with self-checkout and self ordering stands, it is taking away cashier jobs across the country, leaving fewer and more difficult jobs left. “ they don’t have a cushion so the lack of economic stability married with the disruptions in peoples careers is a really toxic mix”.        China believes it can be a worldwide AI superpower by the year 2030 surpassing the United States.

Number five is listed as a Check on Governmental Power. “We, along with the press, are part of the check-and-balance system to restrain government power and abuse of power.” No matter how hard it is, I believe it is important for the government to tell us everything.

The people are calling out those in charge for their secrets and misleadings. “ The value of individual autonomy differs from the value of checking government misconduct in several respects relevant to constitutional adjudication.” I also see number five, check on governmental power in action today.
