The publicity for all this nonsense is getting a little bit silly. Especially considering all the fanfare of the drone delivery vaporware announced prior to Holiday/Christmas 2016 season, which still has only extremely select, limited, niche pilot zones, mostly taking advantage of weather and isolation in desertified areas.
So we're arriving at a place where usage saturates norms beyond their capacity for civilized utility, much like in 1999 when file sharing suffered, all because the unprepared entertainment industry unleashed a violent backlash and counter campaign against Napster. From which, arguably, file sharing in general has never recovered (due to willful poisoning with malware, and fear/doubt spreading with highly publicized, yet rare child pornography pursuit and prosecution, which was then subsequently incentivized with paid informant programs leading to evidence fabrication, and perpetrator/suspect framing, no less), was destroyed, and now, we have a handful of centralized, moderated, controlled streaming services instead, all watching our every move.
So, what will this drop-off delivery arms race bring? Glitter bombs? Shotgun shells? Partially automated remote control (and over-hyped) quad-copter delivery? What else?
