The Rise of The Machines | Foreign Correspondent (2012)

Video Description

Drones have been used as a common deadly weapon to take down the enemy. The pivotable technology changes the way oppositions take the battle ground. Used to spy, target and bomb undercover, in a blink of an eye. In 2012, drones were only just the beginning. Moving from military use, to hitting the global market. Drones were becoming the next big game changer, transforming from surveillance to domestic applications, to ways to hunt people down. An estimated 30,000 drones in all shapes and sizes were predicted to flood the United States skies by 2020. As the technology was booming around the world, serious questions were raised. How was privacy, security and safety maintained? Will drones become a threat and what law enforcements are needed? Can society keep up with this rapidly changing technology?
