I’ve covered this subject previously.

And yes, i got the same “Oh my god, this is a horrible idea!” from similar people who lacked any real understanding of what this means. I got told “it’ll never happen!” several times.

And now, here we are with Amazon doing exactly as I predicted, and you still have people trying to claim “it’ll never happen”

Change is inevitable. The removal of humans from the supply chain is inevitable. The drones are coming, and eventually every one of us will have a swarm of them at our beck and call, extending our senses beyond our physical locations, giving us the ability to do things remotely, and yes, automating delivery of goods.

Fight it all you wish. Enjoy the futility. Have fun thinking you have any chance to change what is going to happen. And when the day comes that you find yourself accepting a package delivered by a drone and it feels as normal as making a call on your phone, look back at this day and laugh.

You cannot fight the future.
