Drones are a recipe for disaster

I was talking to my husband Mark the other night about the latest news from Ukraine and he mentioned how some of his clients are getting nervous about the escalating situation. It got me thinking about how we're getting drawn into this conflict and what the long term consequences might be.

I've been teaching kids for years and I've seen how they're affected by the constant stream of bad news, it's no wonder they're getting more anxious and stressed out. As a parent and a teacher I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to prevent things from getting worse, not making them worse.

The use of drones in military conflicts is a worrying trend, it's making it too easy for countries to engage in conflicts without really thinking about the consequences.

Yeah, it’s like people think those things are just fancy quadcopters. My youngest keeps asking if he can get one for his birthday, thinks it’ll be a laugh, but honestly, after reading this, I’m not so sure we’re not already living in some kind of real-life dystopian film.

With all due respect, I think you're confusing military drones with the ones delivering my Amazon packages. One's a bit more concerning than the other, I'll grant you.

If they're so worried about drones, do they have any idea what it's like to not be able to get a bit of time off because there aren't enough people to cover while you're away, let alone worrying about some flying thing?
