The New Normal

Yo! How's it going? Thanks for spiralling down from cyberspace for a perky mug of coffee and a virtual treat. You didn't run into any drones up there, did you? Listen to this...

Since high-rise residents value their privacy, Lisa Pleiss of Seattle said she was frightened on June 22 when she saw a drone hovering outside her 26th-floor window: 

"You don't expect to be walking around indecent in your apartment and then have this thing potentially recording you." 

According to police, the drone was legal -- helping a developer photograph downtown Seattle -- but would not have been if the camera had been pointed at Pleiss' window. 

(Drones are becoming so widespread that, for instance, the University of South Florida library owns several, for student check-out on certain research projects.) [Los Angeles Times, 6-25-2014]

Remember, I did a 'Drone Delivery' post a while back? Yup! Some places are delivering dry cleaning, pizza, submarine sandwiches, etc. What's next? I could drone on, but...

See ya, eh!
