(TMU) — There’s a lot of justified fear and animosity directed toward drones out there in the world.
In terms of warfare, policing, surveillance, and other issues, there are many deeply problematic concerns. But occasionally you see a positive use of technology that is worth acknowledging.
Just last week, a private drone operator deployed his heat-seeking drone to search for a six-year-old Minnesota boy who had been reported missing by his family. The search drew in more than 600 volunteers, local law enforcement agencies, and several helicopters.
Ultimately, the drone picked up the boy’s heat signature—as well as that of his dog, Remington—laying in a cornfield at almost 2 am in the morning.
Ten hours after departing venturing off to play with his dog, the boy was found cold but alive. He said Remington had kept him safe.
Great! Now let’s go out and use the same technology to find Big Foot.
