Online retailer Amazon announced Sunday that it is planning a new delivery service in which products would be delivered with the use of unmanned drones.

Do you think it will happen? I say no

G'Day

No. Not safe in my opinion. Should be scrapped under the sci-fi wannabe files.

Nope! Never work!

One of those inventions that necessity was not the mother of.

Packages who cares,

Now pizza delivered to the sunroof of my car while sitting in traffic...That's the future...

Hey, it is not a stupid announcement-just a stupid idea.
Look at all the press they are getting out if this. MILLIONS of dollars worth of free BUZZ and name recognition.
Any press at all is better than no press at all-said an astute promoter somewhere....

But I do like the sunroof/hot pizza idea

With their growing grocery section maybe Amazon Prime free delivery of a case of beer to Johnson Creek will be a reality. Hope the drones monitor 122.9.

Pizza?

What about Chinese food? Drone delivery of my Beef and Broccoli Combination Plate could be VERY cool...

I've got to say my hat is off to Bezos for getting using the drone hype to get the whole world to talk about his company right in time for Cyber Monday. He's one smart guy, that's for sure.

60 Minutes however, seems like they got duped pretty good once again. Of course this drone delivery thing would never work. Could you imagine all the drones stuck in trees all over the country, or all the people getting hit in the back of the head by their neighbor's copy of "Fifty Shades of Grey?"

Could be WAY more fun than clay pigeons. I can see it now. Ok guys lets order 50 real cheap items and get them delivered to the high desert fly-in. OH it could be so much fun.

Awesome!

Yup. Brilliant advertising.

I am pretty sure about half the country got duped on some "Federal Affordable thingy" A large part of the American people are pretty gullible.

Remember if it sounds to go to be real it probably is not!
