I truly feel sorrow for the children of the millennials.. because things like this will be heh so what.. the loss of privacy .. and more important the ability to just stop and be by oneself and think things out seems to be slipping away from us. Smaller and smaller spy technology is now a part of our every day existence. I think about going into the Boundary waters to canoe in my youth .. or now up a quiet stream to flyfish.. and who knows what little bug flying by in the future will be someone watching our every movement. So very strange

Weighing only 0.56 ounces (16 grams), the Black Hornet looks like a tiny toy helicopter. But it's really a nano-size piece of military hardware unlike anything on the battlefield today experimental robot flies and hummingbirds not withstanding.
The PD-100 Black Hornet Personal Reconnaissance System, unveiled to the American public for the first time last week at the Association of the United States Army Expo in Washington, D.C., is a drone (actually, a pair of them) that a soldier can carry and operate as easily as he or she would a radio.

I just see a different word than what is there.. or my eye will jump down a sentence and I will pick up different words and change the whole meaning of something in my head.. I have to constantly read and re read a post to make sure I am reading the right thing.. or go back in and correct my own words in my own posts.. its a major brain fart somedays
