Are Drones The Innovative Success To The Future?

     "Invasion of the Drones", by Patricia Smith talks about the good and the bad being brought to light on drones. Not only the nation, but society is questioning how helpful these innovative advancements actually are. So far drones have arisen questions about the loss of privacy with them being used as spy cams, as well as questioning the violation against the Fourth Amendment. People have also been questioning the real safety behind their usage and software whether being a bother to society or a help to this nation. But not only the privacy and safety of people have been questioned, but warfare too is becoming a big conflict the nation is tackling. Smith is presenting this idea of loss of privacy as a key purpose.
     Patricia Smith uses a variety of crafts to make her article come to life. She uses short stories within her article to make it more authoritative and easier to relate to. For example she states, "In fact, it was a drone, hired by a real estate agent to take aerial photos of the property next door to her house. Lingard was later horrified to discover a picture the drone had taken showing her mostly naked body in billboard real estate ads." She retells this short story to get her point clearly across the article and to show the loss of privacy these drones are causing. In my opinion these are problems we as a society can face in the future which is why she included it.
     In response to what I read this makes me think about new ways the NSA could be watching and intervening with our everyday lives. Or ways it can cause harms to our nation such as, terrorists planning out an attack plan. Or what if the programming system malfunctions causing major chaos putting people's safety at risk. But overall, I think that with every new advancement there are these flaws that come along with it. Though, drones are an innovative way to help our society such as, law enforcement's with search and rescue situations, yet experts worry about other possibilities. Yet, I believe that technology isn't always the most reliable source.
