Why Developers Are Important To the Drone Industry (sdtimes.com)
dmleonard618 writes: There is a new market that industry leaders think developers should take advantage of: Drones. While drones are becoming more and more popular, the industry is just opening up and it needs developers to take it to the next level. "Drones are the next mobile," said Thomas Haun, a VP from PrecisionHawk. Haun went on to explain that like mobile, drones are going to completely change how we go about our lives. And if that doesn't attract developers, COO from Skyward added: "How often do you get to invent a new industry?"
Twenty years ago, the only people who had computers were people who knew how to use computers.
Today, all stupid assholes have one and we have things like Twitter and Facebook, viruses, trojans, ransomware, etc.
Now imagine drones in twenty years, following you around trying to sell you stuff, taking photos of every second you're outside trying to capture that one awkward moment that could be used against you, recording your every move to know your daily routine and selling that information to thieves. That nightmare has to be stopped NOW before it's too late.
