I do not think that the cost of the drones is what we have to be most worried about.
If you haven't seen this yet, I think that this TED presentation is definitely worth watching:
http://www.ted.com/talks/pw_singer_on_robots_of_war.html
I'll agree any day that the presentation is not the most balanced, but it remains very informative.
By the look of it, it won't be very long before the folks in the Pentagon can provide a steady - yet
carefully edited - stream of images.
If rules for embedded journalists are a 1.0 thing, looks like 2.0 will be about embedded systems.
Have you already given some though as to how this is going to change the battle space/news space and your reporting?
It does not look like we are talking SciFi here. Are we?</body>
