Amazon has announced plans to test delivery by drone helicopters of packages weighing up to 2.2 kg as those comprise about eighty-six percent of Amazon's business. (RTL: Amazon plans drone delivery to US customers)
These mad little machines would be flying about in such incredible abundance that it would be mandatory to put transponders on them so it's always known where they are plus other drones can see them while they're flying.
Rather than worrying about the cops putting guns on them so they can shoot hippies, there's another side to this. (The cops have already got guns on drones to shoot hippies.)
The Bat Games
As kids we liked to throw rocks in the air when bats were about because it would be cool to watch the bats chase the rocks to the ground. No way you would hit a bat with a rock as they can see just fine, it's only you who can't. It was cool to watch them flying like that and maybe they even got a kick out of it too. This is what kids did before Nintendo.
How the Bat Games apply to Amazon is what will also get kids off Nintendo. If you chuck a rock up to where the drones are flying about then it would be funny to watch all the drones dancing around trying to miss it. Because those drones change course, others have to change course and there could be a quite satisfying ripple effect as drones get crazy all over the place.
And, hey, if throwing a rock doesn't get it high enough, what you need is a potato gun. Don't have one? Come to Texas. Tennessee works well also as I hear they make excellent potato guns in Tennessee. (Tennessee is also where we launched the Galactic Peace Tour Orbiter. It may still be flying somewhere.)
