“'For example, we have had
drones fly above potato fields and with special sensors can detect the
presence of blight before it can spread,' Slack said. 'This is
information that if it were obtained on the ground might be too late to
save the surrounding crop. Aerial search and rescue as well as weather
forecasting are also part of this ever-increasing and expanding
technology. The possibilities are endless.'
And
while the expansion of such technology naturally brings with it legal,
moral and ethical questions, Slack added that a board at the college has
been formed to investigate and fully answer such queries. What was once
the purview of NASA and the military just a few years ago has now
become readily available. So much so that average citizens are investing
in these entities more and more."
A degree in drone technology. I wish I was younger.
