Radiolab: Eyes In The Sky

I think the drone like camera used to catch murderers could be extremely helpful and even life changing. The data that was shown to catch the main location where over 1500 murders were being assembled was astonishing. The fact that they are able to zoom in and find these "tic tac's" of Cars and people and then find out the future and past movements beyond that point is also life changing. 

The podcast took a quick turn though. Out of nowhere the people chose to go against the drone after hearing all of the positives of the drone.

Although this technology can be very helpful, I understand why so many people are against these drones; but why so strongly? All in all these will be much more positively beneficial to cities than negatively towards people. The reasons for that is because of the capabilities of catching criminals and murderers. Do you really think they are going to use these drones to watch our daily lives? Highly unlikely considering it would be a waste of their time. Yes we will have to give the government a lot of trust to keep these from invading too much privacy but to me, I feel the drones can save more lives in the future than it can invade someone's privacy. In the end, I feel people are a bit too selfish about the topic than they are open to the benefits for our future.
