For the past year the invention of the drone really took of to the public. People can now buy drones for around $100. When you buy a drone you can record something at almost every angle and you can also use this to easily track a moving person or object. Also Amazon has been thinking about delivering packages with drones. Maybe in the future drones will deliver everything!
One of the first recorded usages of drones was by Austrians on August 22, 1849.They launched some 200 balloons mounted with bombs against the city of Venice. And less than two decades later, balloons were flown in the U.S. Civil War in 1862, with both Confederate and Union forces using them for reconnaissance and bombing sorties. Fast forward over twenty years to 1898, during the Spanish-American War, and we find the U.S fitting a camera to a kite producing the first ever aerial reconnaissance photos.
