After This Christmas, Drones Are Mainstream AF

Man I bet most of you missed my 2016 predictions because they were flicked onto Facebook like a dirty nickle but Click Here to check’em out.  One of my major ideas focuses on terrorists using drones against us.  The prediction was triggered after seeing tons of people get their hands on these incredible flying machines.  I don’t know how we ever lived before drones.  You need to understand the implications broad drone acceptance carries.

Photographers are at risk of losing their jobs (again).  Film died in the digital era, now tripods are on their way out–so are humans who stand 10 feet away and shoot you.  The angles a drone can capture are incredible, and these things are simple to control either autonomously or manually.  It is literally the best mode of taking photo and video ever.  The second we can take snapchats via drone, look out, game over.

Now we can all survey dangerous places like a steep roof or a precarious descent from safe ground.  It is like sending grunts ahead, fully accepting their fate may be of the final variety.  The drone can safely go places, on the cheap, and return real-time intelligence to you.  Every construction company will own one.  So will climbers, skiers, and adventure folks of all variety.  Think of the shots you could capture on your next vacation.  We are talking Planet Earth closeups of dangerous animals.

You grandma can fly these things.  And if not, there are incredible drones like the Lilly.  It literally follows you, like a donkey, capturing any moment you see fit for areal photography.  You do realize pictures are pretty much the end-game of social media, yes?  This is how you make it these days.  Huge stuff.

While we could sit around worrying about how drones could be used against us, it’s much more enjoyable to imagine all the applications.  Also, per the mission of this site, let’s focus on how we can bank coin off the disruption.  AMBA stands out right away.  These devices are are equipped with camera equipment and Ambrarella has the camera chip set on lock.  Twitter is a long–that patent of theirs is really something.  On demand drone photographers could be a game changer–especially if they monetize it.  Amazon is ahead of the game on drones.  Drone racing is getting traction.  I think the smaller these things gets, and the longer their battery life, the more acceptance we will see.  That means broad nanotechnology exposure makes sense.  Oddly enough, the lithium ion batter continues to be a major roadblock, even in drones.  That’s why I like Tesla and their Gigafactory.  You need to understand how disruptive drones are to a variety of jobs and industries and figure out how you can capitalize off it.  I am all ears if you want to share your best idea in the comments below.

Finally, if you haven’t already Liked our Facebook page, do it now.  We are going to be running all sorts of shenanigans on the platform in 2016 and it would be a shame if you missed out.  While you’re over there, check out how many of your friends and family are posting dronies (a selfie taken via drone).
