Trend Alert: A drone in every garage

We are entering a new world in which unmanned flying vehicles, also known as drones, will soon become commonplace. They are currently being used by military and law enforcements, as well as various hobbyists and the occasional paparazzi. And DHL and Amazon.com have famously talked about using drones as package delivery devices. But what about the common man? Are drones in everyone's future? Judging by the large number of drones that are now available to the general public, and price points that are falling drastically, it is likely that drones will be the Next Big Trend in for both business and pleasure. Selling for less than USD $500, the Blade 350 QX is a good example of an inexpensive, private drone that can do some amazing things. Chief among them is its ability to lift a GoPro video camera for overhead shots that photographers could only once dream about. A built-in altimeter and GPS device makes flying smooth and steady. Someday soon will all real-estate agents be carrying drones? Land surveyors, hunters, runners, boaters... this list of uses is endless.
