Drones are used for many things these days, from warfare to aerial photography, to even product delivery. I think they are interesting technologically, but I do have concerns, specifically about war drones.
War drone operators can be half a world away and hunt targets.
One of my concerns is that they may be emotionally detached.
War is sickening, even when it's necessary.
I'd hate for people to treat it like a game when there are real lives at stake.

It's one of those things that could be used for some very bad projects; such as, germ warfare. It could be disastrous.

Drones are like flying bullets with full control.

@Alexandoy Flying MMGs or Missiles might be a more appropriate term.

Drones can be used in a good manner. May be to drop food packets to a place where people are trapped in snow and have lost other communication with outside people.
Or can be used in warfare, as shown in the recent Drone attacks on the Saudi company Aramco's Oil Refineries in Saudi Arabia, which not only shook Saudi Arabia but the whole Oil Industry in the world.
And so far intercepting drones has proved to be quite tougher.
I think drones would mostly be used for Military purpose initially, unless more sense prevails on the different countries around the world.
