The Consequences of Drones

                                                  Drones

Why are drones going around killing US citizens? What right do they have? There was an article where there were personal stories written to the editor and one of them said " Drones attacked the wedding of my eldest son. I survived; two of my relatives did not." he traveled 7,000 miles to the United States hoping that someone would explain how that happened and would apologize about it. The White House officials met with him, but no one could explain why his relatives needed to die. This persons relatives were killed and they had no explanation as to why, they couldn't justify their actions.

Drones, Do they Help ?

Drones are supposed to be an effective way to fight all are enemy forces, such as terrorists or enemy's in other countries. it may be a safer way to fight our enemy's by not sending troops on the ground. But for one thing the drones have a problem is the are not always precise with there targets. Drone strikes are known to kill civilians or anyone who is just standing by. There are many people out there that are happy with drones, but what you have to realize that they are a problem they can hurt people/kill  someone who didn't do anything, miss identify a target. These Drones cost a lot of money to make, most of these drones are damaged or destroyed. In 2015 10 of them were messed up real bad or destroyed. Twice as many years before, says air force safety data. it cost about 14 million to replace these aircraft.

Me Personally i don't have any personal experience with Drones.

Why Spy

                                                         

Sometimes i stop and think why is the government is spying on there own people, Aren´t they suppose to help us with our need. Instead they go behind our back and spy on us and take all of our information and share it to the internet, they use GPS on the cars to find out our were about.

From the minutes you pick your phone up to the time you put it down the police knows everything you have done. the time you full your car with gas and everywhere you go the police knows. in ass you can see in this cartoon it is like there is a camera with everything you do.

Some of my experience of the cell phone tracking and GPS tracking. when i go shopping online and i went on a website it shows me cheaper price on the something i buy. Every time i am driving and at a fast speed i always see a police car after a while.

¨Drones¨ Whats the real danger?



Ever since drones have come out they have been viewed as dangerous flying torture machines, but is that the case? The way I see it, Drones can be both dangerous and helpful. They can be dangerous because one doesn't know what dangerous things they could be carrying such as weapons ,gas´s etc. They can also be used for good things such as ¨transportation of blood ¨ state scientists. Recreational Drone flying has been restricted due to many drone mishaps. People Such as ¨Casey Neistat" a famous Youtuber has had great success with these drones and it has made getting shots that you cant get with a traditional camera possible

While I do believe that the government should take the proper precautions to keep us safe I also believe that they shouldn't restrict us to the point where it hinders us from using them for a good purpose.I can personally say that drones can have a huge impact on how we live out lives. Such as delivering us things in a matter of minutes it will increase productivity and boost the economy if people are more motivated to buy things without leaving their houses and it takes the same amount of time to get there as if they went to the store

In conclusion i believe that we should all get a chance to fly a drone and not be restricted and judged such as ¨The Crucible ¨ in the play there are many people that frown upon people that dont fit in. This is the reason we changed our prospective on things and ,if we restrict drones we would be taking a huge step backwards.









When too mutch has become too mutch

Close your eyes and imagine a world where you are free. Free to go anywhere you want , do what you want and be where you want without worrying or thinking "Am I being watched or am I being recorder". Well my fellow american's you must keep on dreaming.

This image right now goes with what i'm trying to express because it symbolizes a normal women and her daughter being spied on and privacy being disrupted. Right now as you are reading this blog you are probably being watched by a couple guys in a room just kidding didn't mean to scare you like that. Seriously cameras in public spaces have become a huge problem in America. I know I can speak for my fellow American's that we enjoy having our privacy and not being watched by some weirdo on a screen 24/7 . Many European countries have been doing this and that's great for them but were America and in America we have the right to privacy as so is stated in the 4th amendment.  I hope the government is watching this because they need to know that people have rights and should be respected and messed around with. As a young boy I would always wonder and be terrified on the thought that somebody is watching us but to find out several years later that its true makes me look at my way of life in a different a perspective and i know i'm able to speak for other people that what the government is doing is wrong. We the people understand its to protect us but there are lines and limits and rights that have been crossed and disrupted for the overuse of cameras in public spaces. 

Is Your Car Spying On YOU??????

The ¨black box¨ in your car could be spying on you. You´re probably asking yourself what is a black box? It is a hidden device inside a vehicle that records audio info and info from the vehicle in case of a crash or something of that nature, but it could be used to spy on you...Most of all planes have one and since 2014 it was required that all cars sold by a dealership to have one installed. This is a very easy way for the government to spy on our everyday life while we´re on our way to work or to our friends house..in a article I read online it states that right now only 20 seconds of info could be recorded during the event of a crash but is this really true? Could the government secretly be recording our everyday lives?? To me this is very possible. If black boxes can record info and statistics how much longer till they start gaining info on our lives OUTSIDE of our vehicle? What if they´re already recording us? We would n´t know until someone exposes the truth.

A while back Microsoft surprised the world with their new kinect system that had a ¨always on¨ feature. This was scary for a lot of people, including me because i myself have a xbox with a kinect system. The government could be watching my living room as i speak right now and i would never know and that is what is scary about it. How much longer till the government starts watching our every move? How much longer till the government tries to control our religions and beliefs just like ¨The Crucible¨? I don´t know how much longer till any of this happens but it damn well is scary to think about, especially for our kids that will have to grow up in this messed up generation. 

Why are we being watch?

     Google recently had a complaint filed against them because they are collecting and data mining school students personal information. It was also reported that the Chromebooks sold to schools are being tracked, storing data, saving passwords,etc. This is a violation of our privacy. Why are we constantly being watched by the government? Is privacy not a right? What cruel, shameful act have we done to be watched and monitored like a nuclear machine? Our rights for privacy are being destroyed.

   Google, Inc is a worldwide company and a basic foundation of social media. Google has access to our personal information, not just students but anyone who owns an electronic device that has signed in with a google account, which is a requirement to even use their email and storage services. Why is it that the people in power overuse that power? It seems like even when we're alone we're not alone.  One time I was using the house phone talking to my boyfriend about the movies. Now I don't care that my mother was listening in, but her feeling the need that she has to listen in. Where does our moral ground lie? Referring back to Google, why do they feel the need to watch us? For entertainment?

This intrusion by Google is very similar to "The Crucible" because someone with higher power has taken advantage of their human rights, in this case, death was involved. In the crucible people were constantly being watched because of something that was prohibited. Which makes me question what are we doing that is prohibited?
