There are a lot of people talking about banning drones. They claimed that drones would fly over their backyards and capture their privacy. Does it really the reason people want to ban drones?

First, the problem is how to define a drone? You may think a drone is unmanned aerial vehicle. But how about an model plane with a camera on it? I have seem such model plane with autocontrol device can fly 1000feet high, it can definitely watch your backyard  Should we ban these model planes? If yes, then how about the RC toy with camera which I bought from walmart? Maybe people may say drone is something with automatic control.

Then, think about the smart phones we are using. A lot of apps can activate the cameras and microphones on you phone automatically and secretly, your location, your conversation, your image could be captured and uploaded to somewhere. I would say your smart phone is more a spy than an UAV just fly by. Should we ban our smart phone? I guess it is impossible. Why? because everyone gets benefit from using smart phones, they are helpful.

So why people want to ban drones? Because the drones have not been widely applied in our daily life, people haven't get benefit from them. Maybe in next 15 years, when automatic machines are everywhere, people will get used to them.

Privacy? I think it is just an excuse.
