Hi Tech — the Good the Bad and the Ugly


Continued from page 21


Vive Technology! On the subject of drones, while I


love the way they have been used for things like video production, they have so much more to offer. The stories of closing airports, near collisions with planes, and drug drops to prisons are just examples of good technology being misused. What if the drugs were life-sav-


ing medication being dropped into a natural disaster zone where normal infrastructure had failed? What if drones were instead being used to sur- vey areas that are too risky or too ex- pensive for people to explore?


In fact, we are already using


drones to assist firefighters in their work and to help first responders get to emergency scenes faster. Maybe technology isn’t the an-


swer to everything, but it can take a shot at solving some major social, en- vironmental and economic issues. What’s more, the democratization of the tech economy makes it easier to receive feedback and reward for in- novations directly from the con- sumer. We should encourage innova- tors to look at those challenges and engineer solutions to improve our lives, and let them know that this en- deavor is worthwhile and rewarding, both individually and collectively.r
