In 1969, the Internet was invented. However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that it became one of the fastest growing tools in our generation. Helpful for researching information or communicating with people, the Internet is also a means of compromising our privacy. If we think about how many radical groups have targeted Americans through technology, it shows that any further surveillance advancements could make us prone to even more attacks. There aren’t guarantees that security systems couldn’t be damaging. In actuality, the chances are strong. Any use of sky robots would ultimately hurt people. It’s alarming to think that at your next Memorial Day barbeque, you may need to cook extra food, although not for your friends and family, but rather the government, who will be looking for their plate.
Using robots to find missing children or to transport medical supplies is worthwhile, especially if it saves someone’s life. But the truth is we don’t need to have pizza flown to our households by the United States government. With the current administration searching through millions of American’s phone records, it brings to light how much government is changing for the worse. President Obama stated: “"You can’t have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience," the president added. "We are going to have to make some choices as a society." Those choices have already been made for us. It is the fear that promotes more rights to government and drones than it does to the American people. Limits need to be set on the government and the use of flying robots. Think about it, government may be focusing too much on cartoons, so much so that even the Flintstones have had an impact on society. The Flintstones were cavemen who listened to records, lived in split-level homes, and ate out at restaurants — much like people do today. Government may be setting up people to live in a cartoon world. A future conversation may sound a lot like this one: “Promise you won’t tell anyone? I swear on my mother’s rechargeable batteries (Judy Jetson to her robot Rosie, The Jetsons).”
